Introduction

Introduction

Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) are an innovative building material that has gained popularity in the construction industry. SIPs consist of a sandwich panel that incorporates two layers of structural board with an insulating layer of foam in between, making them an ideal choice for walls, roofs, and floors in new residential and commercial buildings.

Design Theory

Design Theory

The design of SIPs is simple yet effective, offering several advantages for constructing walls and roofs. Bonding the foam core to the stiff outer skins creates a web-and-flange structural strength across the length and breadth of the panel, similar to an I-beam. SIPs provide structural framing, insulation, and exterior sheathing in a solid, onepiece component that can handle axial, bending, racking, and shear loads. Properly designed and assembled SIPs not only replace conventional framing but also withstand high wind and seismic forces.


Advantages of using SIPs


Speed to Build & Environmentally Friendly

Architectural Benefits

High-quality construction method. Comfortably warm and quiet. Send us your house plans for quote using SIPs instead of Stick Frame. We also quote Doors and Windows.

Cost Benefits

Equal or lower first costs, Lower long-term operating costs, Incentives available from utility service providers for energy-efficient design, Lower maintenance costs.

Construction Process Benefits

Easy to construct, with a short learning curve, 60% shorter construction time, Quick turnaround time for greater satisfaction, Increased builder's production capacity.

Environmental Benefits

50% less framing lumber, 50% more energy efficient, Requires less room at the building site (less site disturbance), Less construction waste, Increased builder's production capacity.

Time To Build

Construction time is greatly reduced. TinyHawaii.Homes also offers Doors, Windows, Cladding, Metal Shingles and Concrete SIP's for better Fire Protection.

R-Value

Our SIP systems address all three ways of energy transfer, including conduction, convection, and radiation. EPS insulation provides a direct resistance to radiant heat transfer. SIP Systems are capable of building walls, roofs, and floor assemblies with the added benefit of reaching higher R-values with thinner panels.

Thermal Performance of the TinyHawaii.Homes SIP System

Thermal Performance of the TinyHawaii.Homes SIP System

The TinyHawaii.Homes SIP System provides wall and roof assemblies with higher overall (effective) thermal resistance (R-value) than other conventional construction methods. The overall R-value of a building assembly includes the effect of thermal bridges as a result of framing members and is a measure of its ability to resist heat flow through it. The higher the overall R-value of a building assembly, the lower the long-term energy costs will be for heating and cooling.
