Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) for Homes

The Insulspan® SIP System

The Insulspan® SIP System has proven again and again to be an industry-leading sustainable solution for building residential homes in the U.S. and Canada. Homeowners who choose SIPs are opting for a higher quality structure with increased energy efficiency that reduces their energy bills. There are many benefits to using the Insulspan SIP System for residential construction:

  • Superior energy efficiency for walls and roofs
  • Improved health and comfort because of the tight SIP enclosure
  • Faster building times / less dependent on framing crews
  • Quality home building with superior engineering values

Insulspan SIP systems, including sales, design and engineering support, and technical documentation are provided by Insulspan in the United States.

SIP Roof Assemblies

Insulspan SIP roof assemblies contain less dimensional lumber. In wood-framed construction a thermal bridging is created between the exterior of the building and the finished interior when insulation is interrupted by wood framing which also leave more than 20% of the roof area uninsulated.

Insulspan SIP roof assemblies provide higher R-values than typical wood-framed construction alternates as there are significantly fewer thermal bridges.

The R-value of a roof is a measure of its ability to keep heat from flowing through it. Higher R-value for roofs means less heat loss and less energy needed for heating and cooling.

The Insulspan closed cavity roof design prevents air movement. In wood-framed construction, roof R-value is decreased by insulation gaps around wood framing and by settling of insulation. The continuous core of EPS insulation in an Insulspan SIP vastly reduces air leakage and heat loss, while also allowing better control of indoor air quality.

SIP Wall System

There are many benefits to using the Insulspan SIP wall system for residential construction:

  • Insulspan SIPs provide homes with superior energy efficiency
  • Improved health and comfort because of tight SIP enclosure
  • Faster building times / less dependent on framing crews
  • Quality home building with superior engineering values

Higher R-value keeps conditioned air in. The R-value of a wall is a measure of its ability to keep heat from flowing through it. Higher R-value for walls means less heat loss and less energy needed for heating and cooling.
