Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS) are one of the most convenient and energy efficient forms of insulation available to the building market. This type of panel system is considered to be high-performance with generous R-values for the wall and roof panels. Typical panel systems usually consist of a solid foam core "sandwiched" between two pieces of oriented strand board (OSB). SIPS are often used for residential construction and some light commercial construction. SIPS can be applied to build fully panelized homes, additions or garages and are most often used to insulate and shell timber frame homes.
Our eSIPS product is similar to a more traditional structural insulated panel with two major exceptions: We leave the inside wall open or "exposed" so that mechanicals can be easily installed, and second, the foam infill is partially made with BioBased 1701 soy foam insulation which replaces a portion of petroleum products. eSIPS panels are a great alternative building method SIPs construction. However, for more traditional timber frame applications with our sister company, Davis Timber Frames, we still rely on our friends at Foard and Murus SIPS panel companies for their great products because their application with true timber frame construction is superior.
Our Energy Smart Insulated Panel System is best suited for panelized homes, hybrid timber frame homes (partial timber frame with use of a wall and roof panel system), garages, additions, barns, and more. In these instances, we can produce a fantastic energy efficient, green home that is affordable, constructed in a controlled environment, and designed to your exact specifications.
In general, when building with eSIPS you can expect:
-
Pre-drilled walls for easy installation of mechanicals (wiring, etc).
-
BioBased 1701 insulation which replaces a portion of the petroleum used with other types of insulation.
-
Superior R-Values!
-
Large wall sections which means build time is dramatically lowered (saves you time and money on labor costs).
-
Limited construction waste.
-
An outstanding green building and energy efficient product!
-
Our soy-foam insulation is GREENGUARD Certified; meaning that it's safe for use in schools and schools.
eSIPS construction not only provides green and energy efficient building, but is also a faster way to build your new panel home. Our Energy Smart Insulated Panel Systems (eSIPS) are manufactured here at our plant in Claremont, NH and to maximize height of 9' and length of 36' which allows the panel wall system to be installed quicker. With this pre-built insulation panel system, this will save you time and money when you build your new home. By having your panels shipped to you in a wall system, this will reduce the waste at the job site.
An eSIPS enclosed home will provide a sound environment that is air tight that can help reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 50%!
