We love SIPs and want to talk about them.  If you are in the early stages of designing your project, perhaps we could offer suggestions on optimizing your use of SIPs.  If you've got your design nailed down and you're wondering whose panels to use, we might be able to offer some insight as to what your money is and isn't buying and a few of the "buyer beware" pitfalls that are out there.  And once the panel truck is finally on its way, we'd like the privilege of ensuring your investment lasts a lifetime.  While building with structural insulated panels is a fairly simple process, the devil is in the details.  Our experience is measured in tens of thousands of square feet. 

In this technological era of home energy efficiency, Structural Insulated Panels offer the best way to build a house. In addition to providing a quieter, more comfortable home, structural insulated panels can present the following economic advantages:

• Much shorter construction period. A structure that is conventionally framed, sheathed and insulated may take months to “dry-in” while the same structural insulated panel structure can be erected in days or weeks. This speed can result in savings in labor costs, shorter construction loan periods, and a more comfortable place to work while completing construction.
• Long-term Energy Savings. The energy efficiency of structural insulated panels is well documented. The owner of a SIP house can enjoy low utility bills all year, year after year.
• Tax incentives to owners and builders. Energy use is so low in SIP houses that federal and state tax incentives are available to owners and builders who achieve the energy efficiency that structural insulated panels so easily provide.
• Cheaper HVAC equipment costs. Structural insulated panel structures are as well sealed as they are insulated. A panel structure requires mechanical ventilation for the health of the structure as well as its occupants. That system is much smaller than would be required in a conventionally framed house of similar design.
