SIPs CONSTRUCTION - GO GREEN - PLEASANT VALLEY - GEORGETOWN TEXAS

SIPs Exterior

"NEW" STATE OF THE ART ENERGY EFFICIENT HOME CONSTRUCTION METHOD OVER 50 YEARS OLD

I have been working with a developer that is going to start building in Pleasant Valley Subdivision in Georgetown, Texas. He will be building using an innovative, energy efficient construction called SIPs, (Structural Insulated Panels) system. I have been impressed with this product since I first started working with him a little over one year ago. However the more I research the more surprised and impressed I am.

The product was introduced in Midland, Michigan, in 1952. Yet, less than 3% of homes built are SIPs. There are many manufacturers of SIPs throughout the country.  The one that is suppliing our panels
EH System LLC located in New Braunfels, Texas, has been making panels for thirty years and has come up with some innovative advancements, such as the spline system that makes for easier and faster construction as well as a stronger more durable frame.

Becuse the panels are sized, precut and preholed for wiring at the plant, then delivered to the home site, construction can be completed very quickly. Average homes in less than two months. The Exteriors look no different than a "stick-built" home, using any siding wanted, stucco, brick, natural stone, or hardyplank. The interiors are normal with studs and dry wall, and any floor plan whether using a pre-plan or a custom plan can be used. Because the roofs are panels also high ceilings are a normal feature.
 
There are numerous advantages to building with SIPs, such as:

Some other features, which will be including to complete the "system" are:

  • Tankless water heater
  • Vanguard Manobloc dedicated water lines system
  • HVAC system that includes dehumidifier and air exchanger
  • Vinyl windows



I think that this is an incredible product and wanted to introduce it to you, because very few people are familiar or aware of it. If you would like more information or have any questions feel free to contact me anytime.  512.973.0707, or phillip.toney@yahoo.com                                                                                                                                               Thank you for taking the time to read this.
