Structural Insulated Panel Systems
ENERCEPT, Inc. of South Dakota has a Structural Insulated Panel
system (SIPs) that is designed for faster framing time and less
labor costs. It's a great system! The system combines framing,
insulation, and sheathing into one easy step.
The panel system is a phenomenal way of insulating with timber
frame homes as well. With conventional stud-framing the
insulation is packed between the studs. Because of the unique
structure of Structural Insulated Panels, the on-going panel
completely covers the timber frame reducing the transference of
cold through the framing material, and protects the timber frame
indefinitely.
Another great feature is the energy-saving R-value of the
insulation in SIPs. With an average savings of 50% in heating
and cooling costs FOREVER! What home owner wouldn't be excited?
With energy costs on the rise, SIPs is the way to go!
SIPs also allows a homeowner to participate in the wonderful
program Focus on Energy. You can research both of these
organizations from our Links page.
