Structured Insulated Panels (SIPs) are panels that are engineered for the purpose of construction of ceilings, floors and walls. Working as a substitute for construction methods using conventional framing lumber and insulation, SIPs offer an incredibly durable, energy-efficient and strong building option.

SIPs include rigid foam insulation that is sandwiched in the midst of two structural skin surfaces. Though they are manufactured in several dimensions and sizes with varying thickness, one can also get them custom-tailored to meet specific needs of the project. They have the capability of tackling loads nearly 10 pounds per square foot. They can also be used for floors and walls, which is what makes them stronger in comparison to conventional wood framing. Some other benefits of structural insulated panels are listed below.

Some other benefits of structural insulated panels are listed below.
- SIPs have numerous uses, both for external as well as internal walls, floors and the surfaces of roof.
- Like we mentioned, SIPs are structurally superior to conventional wood framing. This makes them stronger and less susceptible in terms of shifting.
- The trusses of roof can be removed that permit living space under the roof.
- SIPs can be intermingled with other construction materials like block, brick, stone, tiles, wood, slate, steel and glass.
- SIPs have a higher energy efficiency, which accounts to be nearly 50 percent more than traditional framing.
- SIPs permit higher creativity, which is not the case with traditional building materials.
- SIPs can be used in various residential and commercial applications and complement other types of construction. Even the buildings that are built with traditional framing can be remodeled using SIPs.
- Buildings structured using SIPs are airtight and free from cold areas and drafts.
- Buildings with SIPs construction allow higher privacy and calmness than conventional framing, which plays an important role in soundproofing design.
- Equivalent U-values can be met using thin walls.
