Structural Insulated Panels
Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) are a type of building material used for constructing walls, roofs, and floors. They consist of a layer of rigid foam insulation sandwiched between two structural facings, typically made of oriented strand board (OSB) or plywood. This design provides excellent thermal insulation and structural strength, making SIPs an efficient choice for energy-efficient buildings.
SIPs are popular in both residential and commercial construction due to their quick installation and reduced waste. They can be prefabricated off-site, allowing for faster assembly on-site. This method not only saves time but also minimizes labor costs, contributing to overall project efficiency.
