What are SIP’s?
Structural Insulated Panels (SIP) are a high-performance standardized system for residential and commercial building construction. The panels consist of an insulating foam core sandwiched between two structural facings, usually made of oriented strand board (OSB). SIP structures are produced in a modern factory and can be customized for individual projects. This is a very strong, energy-efficient, and cost-effective building system.
Cost Saving
Did you know that 40–50% of energy is consumed for home heating and cooling? The best way to reduce consumption is proper insulation, thus reducing heat loss. The SIP structure system has excellent thermal insulation properties, resulting in up to 50% lower heating and cooling costs compared to traditional masonry structures.
Speed
Whether it’s a custom project or standard prefabricated homes from SIP panels, such structures are assembled much faster than traditional masonry or block houses. They can be built at any time of the year.
Environmental Aspects
The standardized manufacturing process of SIP wooden structures and the possibility to recycle materials significantly reduce CO2 emissions.
Healthier and More Comfortable Living
Airtight construction is ideal for modern ventilation systems, which reduce energy costs and improve indoor air quality. Recuperators ensure a constant supply of fresh air without additional heat loss. As a result, the air inside the building is always fresh, and molds and allergens do not develop. Therefore, we recommend installing a recuperative system in residential buildings.
High-Quality Construction
A panel SIP construction functions as a monolithic shell, having up to 5 times higher structural parameters than a typical wooden frame construction. SE-SIP panels are strong, reliable, and long-lasting.
More Saved Space
Buildings from SIP panels occupy 7-10% less space than buildings from traditional bricks or blocks. As land prices constantly increase, every saved meter is valuable.
Reliable and Stable Insulation
Even after many years of exposure to adverse weather conditions, the insulation core of a SIP building system remains firm, stable, and reliable. Due to its exceptional properties, it cannot get wet or settle. It is always installed with quality and sturdiness in mind. |
