        if you can dream it, we can build it  ... together.

        Structural insulated panels in progressAt Enercept we like to say that structural insulated panels (SIPs) are “the future of framing,” but in truth, the future is now. Enercept has been fabricating SIPs since 1981, and has built a reputation for delivering the most customized SIPs on the market. That is why we are the “builders’ choice.”

        Enercept’s solid core of expanded polystyrene (EPS) virtually eliminates the thermal bridging, or cold spots,
        common with traditional insulation. What’s more, Enercept's insulation maintains its integrity over time
        and won’t settle or absorb moisture. Your SIPs home can be 2.5 times stronger than other homes;
        laminating the exterior and interior of the EPS core with oriented strand board (OSB) gives the SIPs an I-beam-like strength.
        Because you are insulating, sheathing and framing in just one step, you can save time — and money — in
        construction. Moreover, since the entire inside wall is sheathed with 7/16” OSB, hanging sheetrock,
        cabinets, curtains and even pictures is easier and faster than in other homes.

        Enercept clients are sold on the SIPs when they realize that SIPs are an improvement upon stick-framing. SIPs take what’s good about sticks (straightforward building, ease of use and customization) and upgrades the performance, from improving structural capabilities, to increasing energy efficiency, to speeding up installation while keeping the project fully customizable. Compared to the traditional stick-built route, SIPs provide a stronger, more robust and highly energy-efficient structure built for a lifetime.

        "From our first meeting with Jon Wagar and touring the plant, to working with Terry, Al, Shane, Logan and your very pleasant receptionist; everyone was extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond our expectations on follow-up and keeping us informed of the manufacturing process. The staff was extraordinary in responding to our questions and emails promptly. This is our second home constructed with SIPs, and we are firm believers that SIPs are the best in energy efficiency and ease of construction. We highly recommend Enercept to anyone interested in building a home."

        "We really like the feel of SIP construction. We are on a hill totally exposed to the NW wind. We experienced a wind/hail/rain storm of Biblical proportions last Thursday. Cabin remained tight as a drum."

        4 - Building with SIPs is too expensive.

        5 - All building panels are SIPs.

        Fact: Though there are many terms associated with building panels, such as “sandwich panels” and “stress-skin panels. Many of these panels are non-structural and some have no insulation. These terms are not necessarily interchangeable. Be sure you're comparing apples to apples.
