An integral part of the Thermal Shell Home is the Structural Insulated Panel ( SIP's ). First used by Thermal Shell Homes in 1987. The panels are joined together in a fashion to eliminate air infiltration, making for a draft free home. The panels stop moisture transmission and offer the homeowner an effective escape from outside noise pollution. Structural Insulated Panels are the most labor and energy efficient building system on the market today. By using the " ALL-IN-ONE " Structural Insulated Panel building system, you will complete several building proceedures at one time. When you stand a wall panel in place,you have completed the structural framing, the insulation, air barrier, vapor barrier, radiant barrier, with solid wood sheeting inside and outside " ALL-IN-ONE " motion.
