Structual Insulated Panels (SIPs)
Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) are insulated structural elements for use in building walls, ceilings, floors and roofs. SIPs are also called foam-core panels, sandwich panels, stress-skin panels or structural foam panels. SIPs are made by sandwiching solid foam cores between sheeting or skin material. Steel-X mainly provides SIPs having fiber-cement panels as sheeting on each side. SIPs with oriented strand board (OSB) or plywood sheeting are also supplied. SIPs can be custom designed for each dwelling.
Fiber-cement-faced SIPs are strong, durable and require minimum maintenance. They are light weight and thermal efficient with high R-value and effective air sealing. SIP walls typically have R-values around R-20 while the SIP roofs have R-30, though these values vary depending on the width of the insulating core. SIPs are suitable to construct foundation or basement walls, load-bearing walls up to four stories, floors spanning up to 16 feet between supports and roofs.
