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.
