"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.
