The
SIP panel industry is in the midst of a powerful expansion that many industry
professionals believe will bring SIPs from a 'relatively unknown alternative
building technology' to the forefront of conventional stick framing, for residential
and light commercial construction.
While the numbers vary, many industry leaders predict that SIP panel homes
will continue to grow at rate of more than 35% per year. This increase represents
close to 100,000 new SIP buildings. Although this is a rapid increase in SIP
panel value, some industry professionals believe SIP production is operating
below capacity.
However, increased energy costs, heightened environmental consciousness, raising
prices of raw materials, and increased labor costs, should make the demand
for SIPs greater than ever before. As this demand reaches the capacity level
of most manufactures, the economics of scale should bring the costs of SIPs
even lower, making SIP panels an attractive building technology to the consumer.
