This month’s SIPS TIPS are focused on costing a SIPS structure….and focusing on the BIG PICTURE!! Generally the material cost of SIPS over stick framing lumber costs are approximately 20% higher. The increase in material costs makes sense when you consider other reductions of the total project that SIPS enable: Insulation is INCLUDED! Superior rigid foam […]
It’s only a matter of time before all clients start expressing interest in net-zero energy buildings. With energy prices climbing, building owners are increasingly looking to cut their consumption—with the prized goal of developing new facilities that produce as much power onsite as they use.

Graphite Enhanced Structural Insulated Panels Premier GPS SIPS are truly the epitome of high performance framing. Made with GPS (graphite rigid insulation polystyrene) rigid insulation cores, Graphite SIPS offer 41% higher (warranted) R-Values over stick formed construction. Higher Warranted R-Values: Premier Graphite SIP systems create tight building envelopes, which reduces heating and cooling (operating) costs […]
