Structural Insulated Panels |
|
|
|
R-Control® SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels) are a strong structural system consisting of Foam-Control® Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) insulation laminated to oriented strand board (OSB) forming a structural panel. R-Control® Structural Insulated Panels are used in walls, roof, and floor applications.
|
|
R-Control Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) are engineered to give you control over every aspect of your project from structural loads and compressive strength, to materials and costs. R-Control® Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) are available in sizes from 4'x8' to 8'x2'.
|
Structural IntegritySIPs offer excellent structural performance because they are sheathed on both faces and the sheathing is fully adhered across their entire surfaces. They behave as an integral composite system and resist wind forces and building loads better than timber framing.
|
|
R-Control Structural Insulated Panels have passed structural tests prescribed by national building code authorities. Load tests include transverse, vertical compression, and racking shear loading. These tests have proven SIPs have the strength and stiffness necessary to sustain required design loads.
The superior structural integrity of Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) also resists extreme weather conditions and can withstand snow, earthquakes tornadoes and winds in excess of 160 mph. Every R-Control SIP is engineered to a project’s specifications, ensuring you receive exactly what you need.

Build Faster
Building a quality structure at a competitive cost while meeting deadlines is crucial to a project’s success. R-Control® Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) build faster. Labor time savings range from 30-40%. The contractor's crew builds more in less time. SIPs also make inside finish work easier to complete - drywall goes up fast and cabinets are quickly bolted directly into the OSB panel.
|
|
SIPs also have long roof spanning capabilities of up to 15 feet. SIP roof panels do not twist or wrap and can carry heavy snow loads. Using recommended SIP tape, screws and mold protection will add to a building’s overall performance.
|
Energy Efficient & Environmentally FriendlyR-Control® Structural Insulated Panels are 50-70% more energy efficient than conventional stick framing with fiberglass insulation. High R-Values combined with reduced air infiltration makes R-Control® SIPs a superior insulation system.

 |
The energy efficiency of structural insulated panels reduces heating and cooling costs while maintaining a more comfortable living environment. Projects employing SIPs earn LEED Credits.
SIPs also reduce waste at the jobsite because they are engineered to meet specific project needs. EPS is recyclable and environmentally friendly. ACH Foam Technologies’ EPS contains no CFCs, HCFCs,HFCs, or formaldehyde.
