The DIY Channel investigates energy efficient and easy to install structural insulated panel systems (SIPs) at Premier Building Systems manufacturing plant in Western Washington. Premier SIPS are the largest and most awarded SIPs brand in North America. Known for extreme precision and factory engineered accuracy, Premier's SIPs are quickly replacing conventionally framed (2x6) construction nation-wide because of:
- Exceptional energy efficiency: Easily achieve 40-60% energy savings with SIP framed buildings, which are so efficient they are turn key ready for sustainable certifications and high performance tax credits (the new IRA offers extreme tax credits and deductions when building with SIPs).
- Strength to take on increasing national disasters: From earthquakes to coastal challenges, fire prone regions, tornadoes and more, SIPs stand stronger than conventionally wood framed structures and building codes agree.
- Faster installation: Offsite construction at its best, these factory manufactured panels offer ready to assemble efficiencies that tackle labor shortages and material challenges the construction industry has faced for years.
- Healthier: Clean air certified, these tight structures reduce pollutants and contaminants, manage moisture better with solid core rigid insulation and create more comfortable indoor environments from room to room, and floor to floor.
Watch to dive in to these benefits as well as the basic components of what makes a SIP superior!
