At Extreme Panel Technologies, we are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of construction technology. Extreme Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) are designed to offer superior performance, energy efficiency, and durability. As we move into the summer months, it’s the perfect time to highlight the advancements and optimization strategies we’ve implemented to enhance our SIPs.
The Power of Extreme SIPs
Extreme Structural Insulated Panels are a revolutionary product in the construction industry. They consist of an insulating foam core sandwiched between two structural facings, typically oriented strand board (OSB). This unique construction provides a range of benefits:
- Energy Efficiency: Extreme SIPs offer excellent thermal insulation, reducing heating and cooling costs by maintaining consistent indoor temperatures.
- Strength and Durability: The panel construction provides a robust structural system, capable of withstanding extreme weather conditions.
- Speed of Construction: Extreme SIPs can be manufactured to precise specifications and assembled quickly, reducing construction time and labor costs.
- Sustainability: Extreme SIPs use eco-friendly materials and contribute to sustainable building practices by reducing energy consumption.
Recent Optimizations
In June, we’ve focused on optimizing the performance and application of our SIPs to meet the evolving needs of our clients.
Space Optimization with SIP Roofs
One of the most exciting advancements is our ability to help clients gain more square footage and optimize space with Extreme SIP Roofs. For instance, Mojo Developments took a 1,299 sq ft main level and expanded it to 1,499 sq ft by converting a rear porch into conditioned space.
The original plan allowed for about 200 sq ft of unconditioned attic space. By using our optimized SIPs, they gained 700 sq ft of usable second-story space, which included a bedroom, office, third bathroom, and a bonus/playroom. This transformation was achieved with a SIPs package costing $68k compared to a traditional stick package of $42k (without insulation).
The timeframe for the SIPs installation was impressive as well: a crew of four completed the job in just five days without the need for trimming any panels. In contrast, conventional framing would have more than doubled the construction time.
Efficiency Gains
Additionally, the efficiency of our SIPs is demonstrated through Manual J calculations:
- Conventional Construction: 65,000 BTU, 3.5 tons.
- Extreme SIPs: 27,000 BTU, 2 tons.
These optimizations highlight our commitment to innovation and our ability to deliver superior, efficient, and sustainable building solutions.
Teaching and Assistance
At Extreme Panel Technologies, we understand the importance of proper installation to maximize the benefits of SIPs. Therefore, we are excited to introduce a new Teaching and Assistance program. This initiative aims to support our clients, especially those with jobsites that are not local. The assistance team, Professional Extreme Builders, will be available to assist in the initial stages of panel installation, ensuring everything is set up correctly from the start.
For projects requiring more extensive support, anything beyond a day or two, we offer the option of deploying a full crew. Our goal is to be more present on jobsites, providing the guidance and expertise needed to get your project off to a strong start.
These optimizations and our new support offerings highlight our commitment to innovation and our ability to deliver superior, efficient, and sustainable building solutions.
As we continue to innovate and improve our products, we remain committed to providing the highest quality SIPs in the industry. Our focus on optimization and sustainability ensures that Extreme Panel Technologies is at the forefront of construction technology.
Stay tuned for more updates and advancements from Extreme Panel Technologies. If you’re interested in learning more about how our SIPs can benefit your next project, contact us today!
