Build Beyond Stick Framing
Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) combine framing, insulation, and structural sheathing in one factory-fabricated engineered panel — replacing conventional 2x6 construction with a faster, tighter, higher-performance system.
SIPs aren’t about building cheaper.
They’re for teams ready to level up.
The Intelligent Way To Build.
Low bids and traditional framing often become costly through callbacks, delays, and added risk. Building smarter means choosing better methods that save time, reduce waste, and cut energy use for a stronger return on every project.
Material Prices Are Volatile — SIPs Slash Costs and Risk.
Smart builders are avoiding unpredictable material and lumber costs by using SIPs, a building envelope system that uses less dimensional lumber, installs faster, and keeps projects on time and on budget while delivering a higher quality structure.
The Proof Is In The Performance
SIPs outperform traditional stick framing in strength, speed, efficiency, and sustainability, and our Proof in Performance series explains the research behind why they consistently deliver better, more resilient buildings.
STRONGER. FASTER. GREENER.
How Do SIPs Compare to Stick Framing?
The Difference Between Building Average — and Building Better
Most framing systems meet minimum code.
SIPs are engineered to exceed it.
Builders considering SIPs want to know:
- How much labor can I eliminate?
- How much tighter and more energy efficient is the envelope?
- How much faster can I dry in?
- Is this upgrade worth it?
SIPs integrate structure and continuous insulation in one panel — reducing thermal bridging, simplifying construction, and delivering measurable performance gains over traditional stud framing.
If you’re ready to move beyond conventional assemblies, see the side-by-side comparison.
Where Are SIPs Used?
For Projects That Refuse to Be Average
Structural Insulated Panels are used in:
- Type V wood-frame construction
- Type III construction (with appropriate assemblies)
- Hybrid steel, CLT, Timberframe, ICF structures
- High-performance custom homes
- Multi-family and podium projects
- Schools, medical offices, retail, and hospitality
When performance, durability, and long-term value matter more than lowest-bid framing, teams choose SIPs.
Premier SIPS Applications
Built for Projects That Perform
Commercial Construction
For Type V and Type III Wood-Frame Projects
For commercial teams building in Type V and Type III wood-frame construction, Premier SIPS deliver a high-performance building envelope that installs faster and performs beyond conventional assemblies.
By combining structure and continuous insulation in one factory-fabricated panel, SIPs reduce trade coordination, accelerate dry-in, improve air tightness, and lower long-term operating costs.
From schools and medical offices to hospitality, retail, multi-family, and podium projects — SIPs are chosen when predictability, strength, and performance matter more than lowest-bid framing.

Residential Construction
Built for Homes That Go Beyond Code
For custom builders and designers ready to level up, Premier SIPS create a continuous, high-performance shell that outperforms traditional 2x6 framing.
Factory-fabricated panels combine framing, insulation, and sheathing in one engineered system — minimizing thermal bridging, improving air tightness, and delivering stronger, quieter, more comfortable and energy-efficient homes.
Ideal for custom homes, high-performance builds, multi-family townhomes, ADUs, and net-zero projects.
SMART BUILDING SOLUTIONS
Advantages of SIPs Framed Structures
Our Structural Insulated Panels offer faster, stronger, and greener solutions for framing roofs, walls, and floors (a.k.a. the Building Envelope).
Install faster with straight, factory engineered and precision manufactured SIPs. Far superior to the imperfections of site stick framing, prefabricated panels offer fast building dry-in.
The superior strength of Premier SIPS gives building owners peace of mind that their new structure is stronger than most and ready to take on what Mother Nature brings for years to come.
The environmental benefits of choosing Premier SIPS products are impressive – significantly lower energy bills, better indoor air quality, reduced jobsite construction waste, and may be eligible for tax credits and environmental certifications for contractors and building owners.
