Sip Roof Construction

While sips may cost more initially sip construction provides benefits that impact the entire cost of ownership for the life of the structure.

Sip roof construction.

While sips can be used for walls or roofs the best performance occurs when sips are used to create an entire energy efficient shell. Want to learn more about extreme s sip roofs. The best way to take advantage of sips inherent benefits is to design a cathedral ceiling into a building with a pitched roof. 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.

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. Structural insulated panels make construction go quickly but detailing to prevent air and water leaks is key particularly on roof assemblies. 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. Pre cut sips on our cnc machine ensure accuracy and proper fit to your design.

These blank panels start their life in a 1 2m wide format and come in various standardised heights from 2 4m to 7 45m. The panels are then cut to size timber edge pieces added and any openings formed.
