Timber Frame Tuesday: Structural Insulated Panels

Good morning and another tuesday has arrived. Last week I spoke about hybrids, so to keep it consistent with the direction I will talk about SIP'S, otherwise known as structural insulated panels. The panels are a phenominal invention. They have many uses and were created specifically with the timber frame industry in mind.
   They are available in a variety sizes and even styles. Some are set up with so that electrical and plumbing can be run thru them without disturbing the inner core. For those that build they offer an alternative to stick framing and can be a cost effective method to put up a shell.
  There are classes available that teach the best method and best utilization of the SIP'S for the building industry.
  So as I have stated in previous blogs, it falls back to homework and research and really great planning when it comes down to creating your dream!! Until tommorrow....

Have a great day!!
