"Energy
Efficient SIPs Upgrades Increases Market
Values of Homes"
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Structurally Insulated Panelized System
SIPs Homes maintain a
"Higher Resale
Value" than traditional Stick
Built Homes which results in an overall
increase in the value of your home and a
reduction of around 50% in your monthly
heating and cooling costs*. |

See how Structurally Insulated Panel
homes have a
"Higher Resale Values" than a
typical stick built homes, and can
increase the "Resale Value of your Home"
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
* Amount of reduction in
energy use depends on thickness of walls
and roofs and will increase the value of
your home by $ 11.00 for each dollar in
reduction on annual energy costs. |

Building Panel Combines
Foam Insulation and Steel Frame
|
|
There are two unmistakable
trends in the
home
building industry. First,
dimensional lumber is losing its
place as the dominant structural
material. Second, manufactured
components are steadily replacing
site-built ones. Soon, panelized
walls will leap to greater
importance. We are well-positioned for both
trends.
Our panels feature 18 ga.
steel tubes for strength and
expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam for
insulation. Wall panels are from 5
1/2" to 7-1/4
in. thick (R-30) and roof panels are
11-1/2 in. thick (R-50). EPS foam is
ozone-safe, because it uses air for
a blowing agent, rather than CFC and HCFC compounds used by some other
foam makers.
The panels are made by first
routing channels for the 1x2 steel
tubes. They are placed on opposite
sides of the panel every 24-in. Each
tube is connected to its mate with a
long screw. Foam separates the
opposing steel tubes, preventing
thermal bridging. In the wall panel,
5-1/4 in. separates the tubes. Four
steel angles placed on the top and
bottom edges join the steel tubes.
These angles can span the ends of
adjacent panels to lock them
together. Panels can be up 32 ft.
long.
A 20 ga. steel angle wraps each
corner, and fastens to the tubes.
Siding screws directly to the tubes.
Window and door openings are built
into the panels and wrapped with 2x8
lumber. Roof panels sit on a ridge
beam, so the entire upstairs has
cathedral ceilings. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With
R-30 walls and R-50 roofs made from
SIPs
panels, the heating load is about 25
to 30 percent of a wood-framed
house, so low that a high-recovery
water heater satisfies all water
heating and space heating needs. A
wiring chase is preformed into the
wall panels and electrical boxes
attach to the steel tubes. The
manufacturer recommends that
plumbing be located in interior
partitions or in specially-built
plumbing chases.
|
|
|
|
|
Roof Panels |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Roof panels are typically 4’ wide
12” thick and up to 36’ long.
They are supported by ridge and purlin (mid-span) glue laminated
beams. Gable, Hip, Mansard,
Arched and Flat roofs can all be
constructed using roof panels.
By design all
roofs are vaulted
in the interior. The vaulted
area can be left vaulted and
showcase the expansiveness of
your rooms or a floor can be
constructed within to create a
loft area thereby Increasing
square footage of living space
within the same sized envelope.
Skylights and dormers are
easily Incorporated into
the roofs. |

Exterior Walls
Exterior wall panels
are 5 1/2" to 7 1/4" thick
depending on the customers needs. Other
thickness sizes are available
specific to individual customer
needs. All window and door
openings, and associated
headers, are built into the
panels at the
factory. Further, an electrical
chase is factory routed into
each wall panel.
In most cases it is not
necessary to use exterior
sheathing, however, all panels
should be wrapped in the field
with house wrap as a good
building practice.
Wall panels are custom made
specific to each structures
architectural plans. Lengths may
vary from 3" to 40' or more, and
while panel heights of 8', 9',
and 10' are standard, we will build wall heights
of any size to suit your needs.
Curved walls are also available
as part of our standard panel
offering.
All types of exterior
finishes; aluminum siding,
brick, cedar shake, metal
siding, stone, stucco, vinyl or
wood siding are compatible with
out panelized
wall system.

Gable Panels
Typically
the gable wall panels are
the same thickness as the
exterior walls below them. All
necessary structural support for
roof load beams, and any
openings are Incorporated into
them. |
