This practice is not a requirement for sip buildings but an extra measure to improve the durability and moisture resistance of the building. Sips also are manufactured to spec which means there s.

Extreme s pre insulated sips offer an option for a high performance roof framing solution that is 15 times tighter than conventional construction practices making it easier to control indoor air environment. To help you get the most satisfaction from your sip experience the structural insulated panel association has put together this list of tips and suggestions so you ll get the best performance from your sips. You can order pre cut panels that arrive on site ready to set in place. Typically composed of a layer of eps expanded polystyrene xps extruded polystyrene or polyurethane foam sandwiched between oriented strand board panels sips can provide r values for walls floors and roofs ranging from 14 to 58 depending on panel thickness and composition.

Matt melton lives in central washington state in a 3 year old house with a roof made of structural insulated panels sips that are 12 1 4 inches thick. The construction of our house built from structural insulated panels has begun. Sips are simple to use. The pitch of the roof is very low only 1 2 inch in 12 and the metal roofing has been applied directly over the sips with no air channel beneath the roofing for ventilation.

Foam thickness correlates to r value. Some building science experts recommend venting the roof by providing an air space between the sip roof panels and the roofing material known as a cold roof. Sips are high performance building panels for floors walls and roofs in residential and commercial buildings. Build for the future with extreme s structural insulated panels sips the high thermal values and strength properties of extreme s sips are highly beneficial for roof construction.

In this video all of the sip walls and roof are ins. More energy efficient than conventional construction.
