Speed of Installation
SIPs slash costly time delays and increase efficiency. SIPs can be installed 70% faster than a comparable insulated framed wall. SIPs are 250% stronger and eliminate on-site delays due to weather. SIP are completely predictable and reduce costly labor delays and material delivery problems. We plan every phase of the project so that installation times are maximized and labor is minimized.
Energy Efficiency
The greatest "source" of heat loss is thru the roof. With the use of the SIPs, you can expect that your savings in energy costs may be reduced by a minimum of 60% and, the efficiency will increase every year as the cost of gas and/or electric continues to rise. The rigid insulation (EPS) is non-toxic and EPA-approved, which is both fire and smoke rated to provide the ultimate in comfort and performance.
Greener
Made from fast growing trees and 100% recyclable EPS foam, SIPs create structures that regularly have up to 60% reduction in utility bills. SIP use less lumber (almost 75% less!) and eliminate 80% of the waste that would otherwise be thrown into a landfill - there is simply no faster and more efficient way to build.
SIPs also are 'green-rated' and can provide up to 46 LEED POINTS!
Installed Costs
SIPs will reduce the installed costs of your framing. Faster than wood framing and 3x's LESS costly than steel stud framing. SIPs reduce labor by 50-75%! Ready-to-install SHELL packages are already insulated and prepared for windows, electrical chases and door openings. Completely ready-to-assemble, SIPs are the most competitive (and approved) building system in the U.S. Nothing beats SIPs and we have the projects and experience to PROVE IT... Let us help you put your money to work efficiently and effectively.
