Benefits of Northridge SIPs
"The basic design concept for SIPs is elegant in its simplicity, and offers several
advantages for constructing walls and roofs. There is general agreement that SIPs provide
better overall air tightness and practical thermal performance than conventional framed walls."

Environmentally Friendly Construction
The expanded polystyrene in the panel core
uses no ozone depleting CFC's or HCFC's in the manufacturing process.

SIPs Eliminates Drafty Homes
Drafts and cold corner rooms are now a thing of the past.
SIPs reduce the size requirements of heating and can reduce
air condition needs.

Increased Energy Efficiency
SIPs are extremely energy efficient. Compared to a typical stick-framed house, a house built with SIPs
will require about half the energy to heat and cool throughout the year in most climates.
It's not just the thickness of the polystyrene inside the panels that makes
SIPs more energy efficient - it's that the whole panel is designed to function as one structural unit.
The thermal tightness and resistance to heat flow
work with the insulation value to achieve exceptional comfort and energy efficiency.
Faster Build Time
Quick and easy on-site assembly reduces costs and time
of build to the consumer. In comparison to conventional home construction, a SIP home takes approximately 50 - 70% less time to build. The panels can be pre-cut, predrilled and numbered for quick installation. |
Exterior and Interior Finishes
SIPs can be used as both interior and exterior walls, in structural and non-structural uses.
All types of exterior finishes can be utilized such as brick, vinyl siding, hardy board, stucco, and paint.
The interior walls can be used without sheetrock (if code allows) or with sheetrock.
The walls will also achieve superior sound quality for residential and commercial construction.

Building Single Family, Apartment, Hotel,
and Commercial Construction with SIPs
SIPs can be used for many types of construction builds.
With the right planning and engineering,
SIPs can be used for up to 4 story buildings such as:
Apartments, Hotels, and Office complexes.

SIPs Reduce Construction Site Theft
SIPs can be difficult to be taken away from job sites
since the specialized cuts and sizes of the walls and roof system make it impossible to load quick and easy.
In many situations, SIPs are usually delivered and installed in the same day,
leaving nothing for others to take away and use.
