The all-inclusive, load-bearing design of structural insulated panels (SIPs) offers an energy-efficient, quiet alternative to conventional wood framing methods. In recent years, SIPs have increasingly grown in popularity as builders strive to provide more durable products, use more environmentally sustainable building methods, and reduce costs. According to AMA Research, SIPs are now the fastest growing new building method on the market.

Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) are prefabricated insulated structural elements for use in building walls, ceilings, floors, and roofs. They provide superior and uniform insulation compared to more traditional construction methods (stud or "stick frame"), offering energy savings of 12%–14%. When installed properly, SIPs also provide a more airtight dwelling, which makes a house more comfortable and quieter.

Structural panels are energy efficient, composite panelized systems that are manufactured assemblies used in residential and light commercial structures. Types include structural insulated panel systems (SIPs) or stressed skin panels and cementitious reinforced panels. Used on roofs, walls and floors, structural panels can reduce the time it would take to complete a building envelope with standard materials. Structural panels offer various R-Values, weather resistance, fire retardation, and has the ability to meet extreme structural requirements.
