These energy-efficient building panels are among the strongest, most versatile construction components available today. Michael Morley presents information about this relatively new technology for the many builders who will be using it within the near future but who know little about it. | | | Product Details: | | | Author:

SIPs panels benifitsApr 08, 2010
I came across SIPs panels when I started working for a green home builder.
Thier benifits are very interesting.
Homes can be built to save 50% 70% on energy saving
Homes can be build quicker
Homes can be built stonger
Homes can be built greener
Very interesting product if you need more info check out our website

 new and better ways to buildJan 30, 2010
This is the earlier version ofthe book put out by the Structural Insulated Panel Building Association. It is a concise review and sets of descriptions on the use of a radically improved form of building residential and commercial structures. It is not only a "green" building mode, it is a markedly improved and efficient way to live in a home or commercial structure. The insurance against common errors of stick built structures, the ability to stay warm and cool at a minimum of cost to the user as well as other improvements over the common buiding are recognized. The question that arises from understanding the uses and benefits of this superior kind of construction, is why it is so rare and uncommon?
Structural Insulated PanelsOct 23, 2009
Excellent reference book. Also very helpful in learning this relatively new innovation. Should be called "Structural Insulating Panels for Dummies".
Pretty good basic informationAug 28, 2009
This book was helpful to me, but I've been familiar with SIPs for years. It was written a few years ago, and could use some updating on the list of manufacturers. It doesn't really address the problems that sometimes occur if ants burrow into the foam (generally through a foam-insulated foundation), and I wish the manufacturers who include boron in their foam to combat this were noted. I also was hoping to read about bowed panels: at least one manufacturer used to make curved panels for a traditional "bow" roof house, but they no longer make them, and no mention is made of this, or if others still manufacture them--or any other unusual shapes.
But overall, if you're not already an expert, this will definitely give you lots of information about this fantastic way to build!
