Why is now the best time to build with structural insulated panels (SIPs)?

The price of lumber has spiked interest in alternative construction methods, including - with good reason - SIP construction. SIPs are proving to be a more affordable choice for those looking to build.

What Makes SIPs More Affordable?
First, SIP construction uses less framing lumber. SIP walls are made up of two OSB skins, laminated to an expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam core. The only lumber needed is the top and bottom plate material - which you would also need in the stick-framed home.
Additionally, You also need to sheathe and insulate the stick-framed house; this is done for you with the Enercept SIPs.
By virtually eliminating the framing lumber, you also save on framing time. SIPs install much more quickly than stick-framing, saving you labor costs as well.
Now consider the long-term energy savings you will notice every month - for the life of your home.

Do you have an estimate of the r-value that the insulation provides?
