Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) - Ease of Construction

Custom made and ready to assemble, these Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) are pre-engineered at the factory and delivered to the job site as a complete package. With IB Panels' ® custom designed system and pre-numbered panel installation

is performed with ease, allowing for a considerable reduction of on-site time, on-site labor, and the length of time the Structural Insulated Panels are exposed to outside elements.

The Structural Insulated Panel system is a sectional portion of the floors, walls and/or roof consisting of a 6 to 12 inch core panels of Expanded Polystyrene laminated between two layers of Oriented Strand Board (OSB) or other engineered materials. The panels are pre-manufactured as specified and assembled on site. The Structural Insulated Panel system reduces on-site labor by up to 40%.

The weight of these panels also assist in quicker building times. As pictured above, two people can assemble the panel wall structures. The following is the average weight ratio:

Panel Thickness	Weight/P.S.F.
