Basics of SIP Construction for Residential Projects
Structural Insulated Panels
Sip construction uses Structural Insulated Panels, which are prefabricated building components made by sandwiching an insulated foam core between two structural facings. These facings are commonly oriented strand board (OSB) or other types of engineered wood sheathing. The panels are manufactured under controlled factory conditions to ensure consistent quality and performance. This method produces large, lightweight panels that combine structural support and thermal insulation in a single elemen
