Strength and energy efficiency through structural insulated panel construction!
Every once in a while a new technology comes along that makes its predecessors obsolete. Today, Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) are in the process of replacing the postwar norm of stick-framed, fiberglass-insulated houses and light commercial buildings. SIPs produce a structurally superior, better insulated, faster to erect, and more environmentally friendly house than ever before possible.

SIPs are solid, one-piece structural components that can be used in walls, floors, and roofs. Instead of separate pieces of framing, insulation, and sheathing, a SIP panel incorporating all three components comes ready to install. 192 pp.

In this book, experienced SIP builder Michael Morley explains how to:

  • Choose the right panels for the job
  • Equip yourself with the tools you need to work with SIPs
  • Fabricate panels and components
  • Install wall and roof panels
  • Run mechanical systems in SIP buildings
