Structural Insulated Panels

Structural Insulated Panels, or SIP’s, are a cost-competitive, energy efficient and labor-saving way to enclose an historic timber frame. They are basically panelized walls, replacing in one step — framing, sheathing, insulating and drywall installation.

The panels are pre-cut to size, often also with pre-cut door and window openings. They are screwed to the timber frame and are able structurally to span large areas. At the same time, the drywall can be pre-installed between the panels and the frame, eliminating the need for time-consuming installation around the timbers from the interior.

This home was completely enclosed and drywalled in less than two weeks.

After the frame is paneled, it can be finished, inside and out, as you would any conventionally framed structure. This barn-home has cypress clapboard siding and a standing seam metal roof. Please see the following pages for other applications for the panels. Click Here to read an informative article from Fine Homebuilding about SIP's.
