What is a SIP?

Structurally Insulated Panels, have a long history in building. Invented in the 1930’s and used extensively by the venerable architect Frank Lloyd Wright these mighty structures, were introduced to the public in a presentation that involved an elephant, standing on SIP to show off just how strong they were. In addition to their strength, the panels are extremely efficient, with high insulation values coming with a R24 rating out of the factory, forming an air tight building envelope. Other added benefits are reduced construction time, labour, and energy costs thus saving the customer money. The punchline is SIP's are highly durable and last indefinitely.
