Advantages and Disadvantages Of SIP Are Compared To Conventional Stick Framing

ADVANTAGES OF SIP compared to Conventional Stick Framing

• SIP systems are stronger, more energy efficient and more environmentally responsible.
• The edges of panels work collectively as a column and beam structure, with the rigid insulation acting as diagonal bracings.
• Sip component adjust elegantly into the sequence of standard wood light frame construction.
• Once the panels are installed the remaining construction proceeds as standard construction.

DISADVANTAGES OF SIP compared to Conventional Stick Framing

• SIP has isolated instances of delamination of facing from the foam plastic core that leads to structural failure.
• The SIP is also affected by the sagging behavior due creep of the foam core subjected to constant load.
