Exploring the SIPS material for numerous building applications
SIPs are as well made in extended sizes up to 8 ft by 24 ft so assembly on-site is faster, framing crews are more successful, and the project is “dried-in” sooner. That means other subcontractors can get a head start on their sandwich panel design jobs they need to do. Sips are customizable creatures that reflect your own style. Shape yours and play with your friends? SIPs are pre-formed building elements that are put together into structures on building sites. The panels consist of rigid insulating foam laminated ‘tween two sheets of Oriented Strand Board.
SIPs are engineered laminated panels with solid foam cores and structural sheathing on each side. The most common types of sheathing or skins materials are oriented strand board (OSB) and plywood. SIPS are basically a structural sandwich composed of two layers of OSB with insulating foam on the inside and can be used for clean room wall panels. The wood used for fabricating OSB comes from fast growth trees that can be planted and reaped in just a few years.
SIPs are a revolutionary material that can help resolve many of the new issues we face in designing and producing today’s built environs. Fresh thinking must come along with this new material. SIPs are used as floors, elevator cabs, walls and roofs on all types of building across North America and are shipped around the globe for use on the greatest variety of buildings imaginable. SIPs are most commonly used as exterior wall panels. Yet, SIPs are also utilized as an entire building system, for creating vaulted or cathedral roofs.
