The Structural Insulated Panel Association (SIPA) is a non-profit trade association representing manufacturers, suppliers, dealer/distributors, design professionals, and builders committed to providing quality structural insulated panels for all segments of the construction industry. SIPA has been in existence since 1990 and has made tremendous progress in advancing energy-efficient construction with structural insulated panels.
Structural insulated panels (SIPs) are a high performance building system for residential and light commercial construction. The panels consist of an insulating foam core sandwiched between two structural facings, typically oriented strand board (OSB). SIPs are manufactured under factory controlled conditions and can be fabricated to fit nearly any building design. The result is a building system that is extremely strong, energy efficient and cost effective. Building with SIPs will save you time, money and labor.
What considerations do you need to take into account when building with SIPs vs. conventional framing? Structural insulated panels (SIPs) are high-performance building panels used in floors, walls, and roofs for residential and light commercial buildings. The panels are made by sandwiching a core of rigid foam plastic insulation between two structural facings, such as oriented strand board (OSB). Other skin materials can be used for specific purposes. SIPs are manufactured under factory controlled conditions and can be custom designed for each project.
What type of R-value can SIPs provide?R-values for SIPs depend on the thickness of the SIP and the type of core material that is used. SIPs are almost twice the whole-wall R-value performance/ inch of traditional stud-framed walls with traditional fiberglass or cellulose insulation. Why continue to...
Understanding Insulation: What is R-value? All insulation is rated by it's R-value or it's thermal resistance. An insulating material with a higher R-value forms a more effective thermal barrier between the outside and the conditioned space inside the home. #switchtoSIPs Check out https:// ...
