Structural insulated panel
Alternative to wood light frame Closed panel system combines structure and
insulation Manufactured to specifications in shop and
delivered to site ready to assemble Reduces on site construction time, allows for
the use of less skilled labor Relatively small market share

Basics of panel system
Expanded polystyrene core Extruded polystyrene (XEPS) and polyisocyanurate (ISO) may also
be used
1/2 inch plywood or OSB facing each side Panel laminated to insulation core
Structural grade adhesive Applied under pressure
Used primarily in building envelope Proprietary product - each manufacturer specific
details Manufacturer develops shop drawings based on
architectural drawings Fabricated after approval by architect and constructor

Structural behavior
Panel behaves like an I-Section under axial and lateral loads

Advantages of SIPS
Panelization eliminates insulation subtrade Air retarders generally unnecessary Reduced on-site waste Energy efficiency

Limitations of SIPS
Electrical chases pre-routed, requiring careful coordination
Absolutely square foundation and panels required for successful installation
Potential for termite and insect damage to wood and insulation
Long term performance of structure depends on performance of adhesives
