![]() ![]() Yes, we have tons of technical data we would be glad to send you about our SIP systems! Just ask us and we will load you up with enough data to make you dizzy. Study after study shows how a SIP panel home will keep you safe as well as warm. Structurally capable – SIP panels are two to three times more structurally capable than stick framing.In a typical home the panels can be assembled in just a couple of days, with NO WASTE! Saving time saves you money! Faster to build – our SIPS are delivered to your home site already cut and numbered.Higher R values mean less heating/cooling capacity needed to keep your home comfortable year round. It’s documented! SIP panel homes offer a few big advantages. Would you enjoy that? It’s not only possible with a SIP home. Energy efficiency – imagine having the cost to heat and cool your home being HALF that of a conventionally framed home for the rest of your life.The opportunities for innovative and beautiful – not to mention extremely energy-efficient – design are endless. Ask us about these options! Your home or commercial building design can incorporate components of wood, stone, metal, stucco, siding and more. Your log, timber or hybrid home can employ SIP construction, and we will supply the panels, custom manufactured right, in your package, delivered with your other building materials. What does SIP have to do with an Honest Abe Log or Timber Frame home? These are structurally sound enough to build a home by using the panels to form the walls and roof of the structure, but there are a number of other reasons. So the real question is, “Why would I want to use SIPs in my home?” Well there are several reasons to consider, so many in fact that we feel they are a great construction method for use with our timber frame packages. While there are several variations to choose from, a SIP is basically a sheet of OSB or plywood, a thickness of rigid foam insulation and a second sheet of OSB to create a “sandwich.” SIPs have been around for many years and have been used in thousands of homes and commercial structures. While they aren’t something new they may be new to you. Typical homes have so many leaks, it’s like having a window open all the time, winter and summer.So, what is a SIP? and why would I want it in my new hybrid or timber frame home? SIP stands for Structural Insulated Panel. Don’t pay to heat and cool the outdoors! Air leakage and improperly installed insulation can waste 20 percent or more of the energy you pay to heat and cool your home. A typical SIPs eco house kit can be erected in just 5-7 days, and is not dependent on good site conditions, saving you time and money on the construction of. The biggest benefit of Solid Core Design versus a stick built home is energy efficiency. The first Solid Core type construction was made in 1935 and the buildings are still in use today, nearly 70 years later. Ridge beams with SIP panels can eliminate trusses and open your vaulted great room with extremely high R-values and air-tight panel systems. Using solid core roof panels, a home can have high vaulted ceilings or an “attic” area that is conditioned space inside the building envelope. The building package includes pre-assembled, insulated headers, along with window and door cutouts and horizontal and vertical electrical chases. Drywall, knotty pine, or other interior finishes are field applied as needed. Exterior and interior facings are shown with in this photo with OSB. The thickness of foam is adjusted to increase R-Value. When we build with SIPs, or Structural Insulated Panels, the wall and roof panels are built by joining high performance rigid foam insulation to Oriented Strand Board (OSB) or plywood. Saratoga Construction is proud to be a building partner with Energy Panel Structures, one of the industry leaders in SIP panel (Solid Core) building systems. ![]()
