Advantages of SIP panels
- The system substantially decreases the time of production, labor hours, and cost.
- Advanced software and automated fabrication technologies allow the maximum material efficiency, drastically eliminating the amount of material waste.
- High levels of insulation provide an energy efficient system, minimizing heat transfer between the inner and outer faces of the building.
- By providing an airtight building enclosure and well-insulated panels, the SIP system allows builders to meet Energy Star requirements, which requires new homes to be 15%more energy efficient than those built to the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC).
- Most SIP materials can be recycled and reused, a practice that can strongly decreases production costs and minimizes environmental impacts.
- Avoidance of air spaces in the wall that might accumulate moisture and cause mold and other water-related problems.
- SIP panels have better performance compared to framed buildings in extreme conditions, such as earthquakes and storms/tornados.
