Once you start designing with SIPs its hard to go back to stick frame construction

Design is only as good as the products you have to work with. That's why architects love working with SIPs from EcoValue Homes.
EcoValue Homes structural insulated panels are not only the best available on the market, but Architects are raving about this versatile design product that builders and homeowners love. Once design professionals get a sense of the versatility that designing and specifying EcoValue Home SIPs offers they turn to SIPs time and time again from other dimensional lumber products.
Top reasons why architects are turning to our SIPs for roof, wall and floor framing needs:

1. Incredible "green" features. Home and building owners regularly save up to 60% on utility bills. The R-Values of all panels are unsurpassed when compared with traditional stick frame lumber construction.
2. Strength. SIPs are able to bear incredible loads. Ideal for heavy snow loads in cold climates such as Alaska, or for withstanding nature's forces (storms, winds, hurricanes and more) SIPs truly are a stronger, structural framing option. The IRC and ICC agrees with SIPs technology and has adapted the product category into the national residential and commercial code guidelines. 
3. The ultimate code reports. We believe in the advantages the SIPs technology offers the construction industry so we spent years in product development and research to create the best product available.
4. Straighter walls. With expanses ranging up to 24 feet in one panel, its no wonder that buildings achieve straighter walls without bows and curves. Homeowners love straight walls to showcase artwork and stage intricate lighting designs. Builders love straight walls because they make flooring, millwork, cabinet, door and window installation much easier by reducing the need for shimming floors and constantly trimming and adapting millwork to fit bowed walls. 
5. Better design.   Archways and curves are second nature in the design of  SIPs . Our routers can cut our panels and openings in our panels into any shape you can dream up. Panels are delivered to the jobsite pre-cut per your drawings, allowing jobsite installers to cut days off of installation when they would otherwise be creating arched openings, windows and more.  To make sure you are able to take full advantage of the versatility that SIPs offer our experienced drafters and project engineers are available to assist you throughout the design and specifying process.
6. A builders dream. Who wouldn't love offering their customers a product that will save money on utility bills, reduce installation labor schedules by 60% and that will offer a stronger, healthier home? Once they've tried working with them, builders love SIPS for these very reasons. So you can be confident you are offering your customers and contractors a superior framing product.
7. Fire & Insect Resistance. The foam in SIPs includes a treatment that makes the foam resistant to carpenter ants and termites. EcoValue Home SIPs exceeds all North American Standards for residential construction. In addition, we have completed exhaustive testing for multi-family and commercial structures requiring one-hour fire resistent assemblies. EcoValue Home SIPs perform very well in these tests. When covered with an appropriate thermal barrier, such as gypsum board, SIPs meet all national fire safety standards for any Type V structure.
