Knutson Custom Construction strongly believes in Structurally Insulated Panel (SIPs) construction and here is why..
What is SIPs?
- SIPS are Structurally Insulated Panels also known as solid core panels
- Constructed from formaldehyde free plywood/OSB shell with a borate acid treated foam core
- Panels are assembled together one panel at a time until building is complete
- SIPS are manufactured under factory controlled conditions which results in a building system that is extremely strong, energy efficient and cost effective

Why SIPs?
- SIPs saves the environment
- 50% or more energy efficient
- Carbon footprint of SIPs is significantly less from start to finish
- Approximately 85% less lumber used
- SIPs saves on labor
- Ceiling & walls are delivered pre-formed and cut to specifications
- Faster assembly
- SIPs saves on time
- Less material sorting
- Faster completion time
- SIPs saves on money
- Tighter buildings = much smaller heating and mechanical systems
- Net Zero energy buildings = zero net energy consumption and zero carbon emissions annually
