| Build your next home or addition with Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS). |
|
| Homes and buildings constructed from SIPs offer superior insulation qualities, exceptional strength, fast installation and a host of benefits to the environment. And to underline this all, they have a higher resale value! |
|
| Reduce energy cost 40-60%, - Because SIPs have fewer gaps -- and because studs do not interrupt the insulation. SIPs homes have been shown to reduce energy cost by 40-60% |
|
| Less Noise, less pollen and less dust: SIPs act as a better barrier to external noises, pollen and dust than homes made from traditional construction methods. |
|
| Financial Advantages: Owners of homes using Structural insulated panels may qualify for the EPA's Energy Star Home designation, given to homes that benefit the environment through reduced energy usage. Homes that are given this designation may qualify for lower-interest mortgages or other benefits. |
|
| Exceptional Strength - Since the finished panels are an integrated building product, literally acting as a structural component, they are able to withstand and even surpass typical loads caused by winds, snow and seismic activity. |
|
| When a deadly tornado ripped through the town of Clermont, Georgia. Elton Palmer's home, built with SIPs, was among the few left standing, five other houses less than a quarter mile away from completely destroyed. |
|
| Fast Construction and Finishing - SIPs houses are far faster to construct |
|
| Help the environment - Because SIPs effectively replace conventional stud-wall construction, fewer mature forest products need to be harvested. The outer OSB skins of SIPs are made from "engineered wood" that is manufactured from renewable, fast-growing trees. And because SIPs offer superior insulation qualities, heating and electric bills are reduced and the result is that fewer fossil fuels need to be burned |
