Advantages for buyers

When it comes to building something new today, there are a wide range of options available. However, not all of these alternatives are as high-quality or appealing as some of the older building methods.

When creating something from the ground up, you want to use innovative and interesting materials that will also withstand the test of time. In addition, you want materials that are sustainable, safe, durable, and cost-effective, especially if you are on a tight budget!

Furthermore, you’re looking for methods or materials that will improve the aesthetic appeal of what you’re building so that it best represents your idea or vision.

Extremely strong structure.

There is considerable evidence that homes with SIP wall and ceilings have survived natural disasters like hurricanes, tornadoes, straight-line winds and earthquakes better than traditional stick-framed homes right next door.

Lower energy bills.

Discounting the “human factor”-thermostat settings and so forth-a number of side-by-side tests show that between 15% and 40% less energy should be needed to heat and cool a home with SIP wall and ceiling panels. In tests by Oak Ridge National Laboratory, SIP walls outperform fiberglass walls by over 55%.

Precise building costs.

Thanks to the pre-cut panels used for every element of the building differences between the estimation and the final bill shouldn’t exceed 3%

Improved comfort.

Thanks to lower U’-values and tight construction, the wall and ceiling surfaces in a SIP home will stay warmer than in stick-framed homes. The warmer those surfaces are the more comfortable the home is.

More space.

Another great advantage of the SIPs is that the panels are thinner than conventional construction thus giving you more extra living space on the same footprint.
