Sip house

More and more people are choosing to live in SIP tiny houses as the SIP house movement gains momentum. SIP panel homes are becoming a mainstay because of their low construction cost and many other benefits.

What is a SIP house?

A SIP house or SIP home is made with structural insulated panels (or "SIP"). For this reason, such homes are also called insulated panel houses or SIP panels homes.

SIP house construction involves insulating foam cores sandwiched between two structural-facing wooden boards. SIP house building saves cost since SIP home systems require fewer building materials and construction time. Furthermore, a tiny SIP house can deliver long-term value to homeowners with suitable materials and building practices.

Prefab SIP homes are typical and the most preferred by most homeowners. These prefabricated kit homes are easy for SIP home builders and great for building SIP modular homes.

The SIPs in SIP homes, such as Structall tiny homes, are producers of factory-controlled conditions and can be adapted to nearly any building design.

Advantages of a SIP house

There are many compelling reasons to choose SIPs for your prefab home, but the most important are sustainability and speed.

SIP built homes offer a sustainable system due to low energy usage and fewer carbon dioxide emissions. You can also go further to only use SIPs with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. This certification means that the building has a low impact on human health and the natural environment. The energy efficiency of prefab SIP homes also means less heating and cooling costs.

Speed is another significant advantage, as SIP homes are easier and faster to build. All you need is a prefab SIP home kit that contains pre-measured and pre-cut SIPs. These kits allow you to start building without a long design phase. Furthermore, since the panels come with the exact measurements of your desired home, you simply have to assemble them to make your home. They are often ready to install upon delivery so that you can install the entire wall and roof sections quickly.
