Why Use SIPs?

Have you ever looked down the edge of a stud wall and noticed how it bends, bulges, twists and cups due to the increasingly poor quality of lumber?

This does not happen with a SIPs wall. SIPs walls are straight, plumb and square. The continuous wood surface gives you a sound nail-base for all exterior and interior finishes.

Without hesitation, your SIPs home will be one of the most comfortable, quiet and clean structures you will ever own.

In a stick-frame home, where thermal performance is an afterthought, it has been shown that 40-60% of energy loss is through the walls. Insulation is an integral part of a SIPs home. Air and moisture penetrations are greatly reduced because there are so few thermal breaks.

PEACE OF MIND » SIPs Are Simply A Better Building Alternative

Are you looking for a better construction or building alternative? People who consider building their dream home do so because they want it to be uniquely theirs and perfect for a lifetime. SIPs are structurally stronger and straighter, considerably quieter and start paying you back the moment you move in through the reduced costs of heating and cooling.

In a SIPs home the framer "installs" the panel sections rather than "builds" them. This saves time and ensures that the walls are straight and plumb.

SIPs can positively impact many stages of the building process and help you stay on schedule.

A few examples:

• The insulation is already incorporated into our SIPs.
• The electrical chases are factory installed in the foam, eliminating the time and labor expense associated with on-site drilling.
• SIP Panel walls are flat and plumb so the drywall contractor completes his work faster along with a better final finish.
• The interior finishes, including cabinetry, flooring, moldings, etc. will be installed easier due to the continuous attachment surface provided by the OSB. No more searching for studs.
• A great advantage of building with Integrity Building System SIPs stems from the benefit of being made with "factory precision". This precision enables the home to be very tight, which reduces the size of your heating and air conditioning unit (HVAC) by up to 20%, giving you immediate savings. And over the years you’ll enjoy significantly lower energy costs too.
