Introduction
Throughout the country, Timber Frame construction is becoming more and more popular, and for good reason. The structural skeleton of a Post and Beam home is stronger and more aesthetically pleasing than conventionally framed structures. At one time, insulating a post and beam structure demanded stud wall framing and conventional fiberglass insulation, which diminished the beauty of the exposed timbers. Today however, timber frame buildings can be enclosed in a new, more cost-effective way with laminated stress-skin panel systems (Structural Insulated Panels) from Foam Laminates of Vermont.
What are Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs)?
Structural Insulated Panels or SIPs are a sandwich assembly consisting of a lightweight EPS (expanded polystyrene) core glued between two sheets of Oriented Strand Board (O.S.B.). The lamination process is performed under carefully controlled conditions, insuring a quality product. The panels create a system which provides high load bearing capabilities, exceptional insulation, and an uninterrupted wall surface, all in one. The system is designed to be mounted over timber framing or can be used as a standalone product. Either way, SIPs form an uninterrupted insulating blanket with an R-value much greater than that of conventional walls with fiberglass insulation.
An EPS core has been selected because of it strength and low rate of heat transfer. In addition, polystyrene is an inert non-formaldehyde, moisture and mildew resistant material that can withstand temperature cycling.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that the average U.S. home releases 22,000 lbs of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere each year. This is twice the amount of the average vehicle.
By reducing the amount of energy used for heating and cooling, SIPs can significantly reduce emissions produced by our homes and commercial buildings.

In recent yours, a growing body of scientific evidence suggests that the air inside the places we live and work can be more polluted than the air outdoors. This poses a serious health risk to occupants.
Poor indoor air quality can lead to irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat. Furthermore, this can also increase susceptibility to headaches, viruses, and asthma-like symptoms.

SIPs have a high R-Value foam core without any thermal bridging studs or areas of potential compression or voids in the insulation. SIP homes also have extremely low levels of air infiltration because there are fewer gaps to seal. When combined with other high efficiency energy systems, SIP homes commonly demonstrate 50%-70% savings over the Model Energy Code (MEC)
