Structural Insulated Panel Homes

Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) are, in our opinion, the premier choice for residential construction. The technology has been around for nearly 50 years but the popularity is steadily increasing. SIPs are made by joining high performance rigid foam insulation to oriented strand board (OSB) and are used as floors, walls and roofs. They are a structural composite, kind of like an "I"–beam. The skins act like flanges and the rigid core is similar to the web. In short, the three components work together, rather than against one another. This composite assembly yields stiffness, strength and predictable responses.

Our crew and a team from KC Panels set up the walls of a 2,700 square foot home in two days.

For quality, consistency, adaptability and virtually unsurpassed R-value (insulation) performance, we believe the SIP system gives the consumer the most value for their construction dollar. Log, Stick and Steel highly recommends KC Panels www.kcpanels.com not only because they are certified as a "green" building product resource, but also because of their state of the art innovations in structural panel technology and for the fact that they too, are a family-owned New Mexico company.

Integrated truss panels make the R-41 insulation complete from top to bottom.

KC Panels offers two thickness of panels with urethane foam for improved insulation and fire protection, sandwiched between two skins of 15/32" OSB skins for better strength. The 4 1/2" panel has an R-27 insulation value, while the 6 1/2" panel has an R-41 insulation value. For a quality home that boasts energy efficiency, versatility, soundness and comfort, we strongly recommend Structural Insulated Panels from KC Panels.
