Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) Description This measure guides describes how to install structural insulated panels to block excessive heat loss and gain though structural framing.
Image Construct exterior walls with structural insulated panels (SIPs) to provide an airtight wall with consistent insulation and very little thermal bridging. Publication Date Sat, 10/01/2011 - 12:00
Image An insulated spline is another option for avoiding thermal bridging at SIP panel seams Publication Date Tue, 01/01/2008 - 12:00
Image This technique for installing electrical wiring avoids the need to cut into the SIP panel Publication Date Tue, 01/01/2008 - 12:00
Image Install a housewrap drainage plane between the SIP panels and the exterior cladding Publication Date Tue, 01/01/2008 - 12:00
Image SIP panel walls are less susceptible to air leakage and convection issues than stick-built walls Publication Date Tue, 01/01/2008 - 12:00
Image A surface spline reduces thermal bridging much more than a structural spline at SIP panel seams Publication Date Tue, 01/01/2008 - 12:00
Image After installing the house wrap over the SIPS, window flashing is installed Publication Date Wed, 11/14/2012 - 12:00
Image A structural spline made of a solid 2x is used where needed to meet structural load requirements at SIP panel seams Publication Date Tue, 01/01/2008 - 12:00
Image Make sure the beads of caulk are continuous the full length at each SIP panel seam, such as at the wall-roof seam, to maintain air barrier continuity Publication Date Tue, 01/01/2008 - 12:00
