What are Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs)?

Structural insulated panels (SIPs) are an advanced building system ideal for residential and light commercial projects. These panels feature a core of insulating foam between two structural facings, made of hardy board. Produced under factory-controlled conditions, SIPs can be customized to match almost any architectural design. This results in a building system that is exceptionally strong, energy-efficient, and cost-effective.

Frequently asked questions

What are Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs)?
SIPs are high-performance building panels used for walls, floors, and roofs. They consist of an insulated foam core sandwiched between two structural facings. The structural facings are typically oriented strand board (OSB). Green Edge Homes SIPs consist of both ZIP board (a type of OSB) and Hardie board (cement board), depending on the application. This type of construction offers superior strength, energy efficiency, and durability.
What makes SIPs better than traditional construction methods?
SIPs offer faster construction times, reduced energy costs (up to 60%), improved durability, and environmental sustainability by minimizing construction waste.
How long does it take to build a SIP home?
Construction with SIPs is typically 50-60% faster than traditional methods. A 2,000 sq. ft. home can be assembled in 5-7 days, depending on complexity.
Do you offer installation services?
While we don’t have in-house global building crews, we can assist by recommending certified contractors for installation, or alternatively, provide instructional guidance if you choose to build yourself.
Do you provide financing options?
Yes, we work with several financing partners and programs, including VA loans, FHA loans, and USDA loans.
Are SIP homes resistant to extreme weather?
Yes, SIPs are designed to withstand high winds (up to 200 mph), making them ideal for hurricane-prone or high-wind areas. Due to the tight building envelope, they are also flood resistant up to a certain water level.
