SIP Panels Pros and Cons

[@vicmiranda1967]

Do you use ring shank nails along with screws to secure bottom of the panels?

Wall panel to sill plate - 8d Sinkers or #10 x 1-1/2” Screws, 6” O/C. Thanks for the question!

Strange to say SIPS are better insulated than stick built when you can build a stick 3 foot deep and fully enclosed if you desired.

[@EcoPanelsofTennessee]

Honestly, I would think it's strange to suggest bothering to build a stick framed wall 3 feet deep, but to each their own. Best of luck with that wall!

@@EcoPanelsofTennessee lol exterior insulation is becoming the standard, protecting that inner frame and that depth is a postive not a negative. Why be so defensive? totally missing the basic point that you can build a stick frame as good as you want to build it

How do you install hose bibbs on a slab foundation with your panels?

[@EcoPanelsofTennessee]

Great question. Small wall penetrations like that are not an issue and do not weaken a panel. They're done pretty often. If you can't align your exterior tap with an interior cabinet, a plumb wall may be needed against the exterior SIP wall for access, etc. Hope that helps... thank you!

Savings in labor cost should far offset the increase in material price.

[@EcoPanelsofTennessee]

Absolutely it can and should!
