EcoPanels

SIP (structural insulated panel) Construction

A SIP is a sheet of OSB or plywood, a thickness of rigid foam insulation and a second sheet of OSB to create a “sandwich.”

Your log, timber or hybrid home can employ SIP construction, and we will supply the panels, custom manufactured right, in your package, delivered with your other building materials.

Your home or commercial building design can incorporate components of wood, stone, metal, stucco, siding and more.

The opportunities for innovative and beautiful – not to mention extremely energy-efficient – design are endless.

Benefits

SIP construction is structurally sound enough to build a home by using the panels to form the walls and roof of the structure, but there are a number of other reasons, including:

Energy efficiency – imagine having the cost to heat and cool your home being HALF that of a conventionally framed home for the rest of your life. Would you enjoy that? It’s not only possible with a SIP home. It’s documented! SIP panel homes offer a few big advantages. LESS seams means less air infiltration. Higher R values mean less heating/cooling capacity needed to keep your home comfortable year round.

Faster Build Time – our SIPS are delivered to your home site already cut and numbered. It is like a giant jigsaw puzzle. In a typical home the panels can be assembled in just a couple of days, with NO WASTE! Saving time saves you money!

Structurally Capable – SIP panels are two to three times more structurally capable than stick framing. Study after study shows how a SIP panel home will keep you safe as well as warm.
