OVERALL
Erection of the SIPs walls, roof, and dormers took 45% of the labor hours expected for conventional construction.
MATERIAL
SIPs eliminate the need to install exterior sheathing, thermal insulation, and House-wrap separately. The SIP sandwich panels come preassembled, which reduces installation time.
CUTOMER SAVINGS
SIP Panels eliminate thermal bridging and the structure becomes a sealed unit, thus further reducing operating costs.
PREDICTABLE
SIP Panels are an engineered product. This means your walls will be straight and plumb every time ( no bowed or twisted walls because of bad studs. This allows for much faster installation of finish work (Doors / Mill Work / Windows)
ELECTRICAL
Rough-wiring the electrical appurtenances in the SIPs walls took 89% of the labor hours expected for rough wiring in a conventional house
ACCURACY
Precut openings: with door and window openings already cut, there is less labor required on the job site to install SIPs.
AIR HANDLING SYSTEMS
A smaller air handling system can be installed because of the airtight seal created by the proper installation of SIP Panels.
MINIMUM TIME TO DRY IN
When a structure is dried in faster subs can start sooner and will not be disrupted by inclimate weather.
