Steve Maxwell admits he was wary at first, but has since become a supporter of Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs). In this video he explains why:

  • SIP structures use roughly half the energy of new stick-built homes
  • SIPs make it easier to build tight
  • SIP structures are up to 300% stronger than stick-frame
  • SIP walls go up faster than insulated stud frames
  • SIPs easily create sealed, insulated and comfortable spaces underneath a roof structure
  • Wiring and plumbing are easy to install
