Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs)
R-Control SIPs combine engineered OSB and EPS insulation for superior energy efficiency and structural integrity. Panels reduce air leakage by 90% compared to traditional framing, lowering heating and cooling costs by over 50%. Ideal for residential and commercial projects seeking LEED certification or net-zero energy performance.
Energy Efficiency Solutions
Our SIPs achieve 50%+ energy savings through continuous insulation and thermal bridging elimination. Certified to meet IECC and LEED standards, they enable downsized HVAC systems and qualify for utility rebates. Perfect for eco-conscious builders targeting net-zero or Passive House certifications.
Custom Fabrication
Panels are pre-cut to exact specifications with integrated electrical chases and labeled for easy assembly. Custom options include unique dimensions, window/door openings, and specialized configurations for complex architectural designs or retrofit projects.
Construction Support
We provide technical bulletins, AutoCAD drawings, and on-site training for SIP installation. Contractors receive labor-saving guidance, quality assurance protocols, and AIA CE-accredited lunch-and-learn sessions to streamline project execution.
LEED Certification Assistance
R-Control SIPs contribute to LEED points for energy performance, material efficiency, and innovation. Our team offers documentation support and case studies from past LEED Gold-certified projects to help architects meet green building goals.
Questions
What are structural insulated panels (SIPs)?
SIPs are high-performance building panels made of EPS insulation sandwiched between OSB boards. They provide structural support, insulation, and air sealing in one component.
How do SIPs improve energy efficiency?
SIPs eliminate thermal bridging and air leakage, reducing heating and cooling costs by up to 50% compared to traditional wood-frame construction.
Are SIPs suitable for commercial buildings?
Yes. SIPs meet commercial building codes and are used in projects ranging from schools to LEED-certified offices for their speed and energy performance.
How much labor savings do SIPs provide?
Industry studies show SIPs reduce wall and roof labor by 55% and electrical installation by 11% due to pre-cut panels and simplified assembly.
Do SIPs qualify for green building incentives?
Yes. SIPs contribute to LEED certification and may qualify for utility rebates or tax credits due to their energy efficiency and material sustainability.
What warranty do SIPs include?
Our SIPs come with a 20-year warranty covering structural integrity and thermal performance, ensuring long-term reliability for building owners.
