Sip roof construction.

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. Want to learn more about extreme s sip roofs. Pre cut sips on our cnc machine ensure accuracy and proper fit to your design. 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.

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. A sip building envelope provides continuous insulation is extremely airtight allows for better control over indoor air quality reduces construction waste and helps save natural resources.

The best way to take advantage of sips inherent benefits is to design a cathedral ceiling into a building with a pitched roof.

While sips can be used for walls or roofs the best performance occurs when sips are used to create an entire energy efficient shell. Structural insulated panels or sips are pieces of insulation bonded on each side to typically two skins of oriented strand board osb.
