ABOUT SIP PANELS AND PANEL HOMES
Many quality home kits are manufactured with SIPs (An acronym for Structural Insulated Panels), a factory manufactured wall system that replaces standard stick framing and batt insulation with a solid one piece wall section composed of two sheets of OSB (Oriented Strand Board) that has been adhesively welded to a thick rigid core of EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) foam insulation.
Many builders have found panel houses are superior to most building materials used to build homes today.
The panel homes are stronger, easier to build and are more energy efficient than regular stick built homes. Plus, it is felt that insulated panel home kits completely built are superior to modular homes, manufactured homes, and mobile homes.
Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs)
The advantages of using SIPs are many:
SIP's simplify construction construction of the panel hous: Since SIP's already have insulation, one step is reduced. PLUS, the frame of the home and the insulation are one in all.
SIP's greatly reduce Construction Labor Costs. Just about anyonce can erect a panel house so you can use NON-professional builders and do it yourself too.
There alot of design flexibility. You can have a simple cabin to a huge mansion. SIP's - panels can be found in 9', 10', & 12' heights, so designs can be easily made.
Panel houses using SIP's are easy to wire most of the time with pre-cut electrical chases that are usually built into every panel so that the wiring of the outer walls can be easily done.
Panel houses are safer and have better strength than stick built houses.
SIP panel houses are quiet and cleaner due to their solid insulation which reduces noise and dust coming in.
SIP's panel houses offer reduced energy use. Heating and air conditioning costs can be reduced by 50%-60% over the life of the home.
Consider building your home with SIP's panel houses kits -- Save time, money, reduce energy costs, build it yourself home.
