Houses with SIP (Structural Insulated Panels)

SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels) have become a popular energy efficient way to build new house plans. House plans with SIPs have a strong structural system consisting of Foam-Control® EPS (expanded polystyrene) insulation laminated between sheets of structural sheathing. This simple sandwich forms an amazingly strong structural panel for building walls, roofs, and floors. A well built home using SIPs will have greatly improved energy efficiency and can often take less time to construct. These panels are also versatile and can be used for floors, walls, and roof material.
