Panels are available is sizes as large as 8' x 24'. The most common panel size is 4' x 8' , but length of 9', 10', 12', 14', and 16' are also provided. The R-value of the SIP depends upon the thickness of the panel and the type of insulating core material. Equally important as R-value is the tightness of the SIP building envelope and its reduced air infiltration. In comparison to stick framing.
SIPs have fewer gaps, less settling, and less moisture absorption.
This loss does not occur with a SIP building. SIPs are recognized by all national and local building codes. Structural Insulated Panel Association Ferrier Builders, Inc. is an equal opportunity employer.
