Summary

Structural insulated panels (SIPs) are prefabricated, high performance, lightweight building panels. They achieve roof and wall U-value targets, provide good levels of airtightness, and can be custom designed for each application. They are a building system that is strong, energy efficient and cost effective.

Structural insulated panels (SIPs) are composite engineered products for either full structural uses or as infill panels for concrete, steel, or engineered timber frame. SIPs offer designs with loadbearing capability, racking resistance, and wind loading.
