Triangle Buildings & Triangle Log Cabins Offers Structural Insulated Panels for Any Project
Read more about SIP construction below to learn about the advantages of this innovative new building system. As an authorized dealer Eco-Panels, SIP is suitable for any type of project. Triangle Buildings will work with your contractor to order directly from the manufacturer. Each panel is CUSTOM manufactured from your specifications.
What is a SIP and how does it work?
A SIP (Structural Insulated Panel) is an engineered product used to form structural wall or roof components in residential or commercial applications and is used in place of conventionally “stick framed” construction.
A SIP is generally a structural inner and outer layer with a foam insulation in between that is “fused” together to provide not only the structure of the wall/roof but also provide superior insulating qualities. SIP products have been around for many years and are recognized building code compliant.
That being said, what is an Eco-Panel specifically?
Eco-Panels are the next evolution in SIP panels – they are safer, stronger, and more environmentally-friendly. At Eco-Panels we go beyond the standard SIP product and create a better system to build a better house. Our 4.5″ thick panels provide R-26, and 6.5″ wall and roof panels are R-40.
Eco-Panels have benefits beyond what most SIPs offer. To list a few:
- Pre-assembled for quality control in our factory
- Greater energy efficiency (R-Value) in a thinner panel. 4.5″ @ R-26 and 6.5″ @ R-40
- Patented single piece corners are solid and stronger
- Our polyfoam is the gold standard in the industry
- Choice of products provide finished or unfinished exteriors
- Cam lock joinery
- No need for an expensive crane
We make and assemble our panels at our Tennessee location but can ship to anywhere in the world. Contact us if you have interest in our product, no matter where you are located.
Building an Eco-Panels home will only add 1-2% to your upfront costs, but you will see a return on investment within 5 years. You will save money on the construction of your home due to less waste, lower labor costs, and having a smaller heat and air system. Along with that, most customers save 50% or more on energy costs and maintain a higher home value.
We Can Ship Our SIP Panels Anywhere
Superb Energy Efficiency
Our SIPs are some of the most advanced on the market. Produced by our manufacturer’s sister company, they contain a proprietary poly-based foam core that results in a R-26 wall at only 4.5 inches thick, or R-40 at 6.5 inches. They’re so efficient that the U.S. Department of Energy has recognized them as a Zero Energy Ready Home (ZERH) product. With our panels, building off the grid or simply lowering your utility bills for life is very achievable.
Safe and Environmentally Friendly
Unlike the cheap industry standard EPS foam cores (styrofoam), our SIPs feature an advanced closed cell poly-based foam that doesn’t melt at any temperature and has a Class 1 fire rating. It contains no VOCs, no ozone depleting compounds, and no formaldehyde. Our foam core has passed the highest standard in the industry for indoor air quality (IAQ) as related to building materials, passing the California Department of Public Health indoor air quality standard “CDPH 01350 v1.2 for School Classroom, Private Office and Single Family Residence”.
Incredibly Strong & Faster to Build With
An abundance of data online exists regarding the strength of SIP panels. Our panels incorporates a patented process that makes them even stronger. A one-piece solid corner panel creates unprecedented strength in a home and is unique to our product. SIPs have been proven to be 2-3 time stronger than conventional framing. Along with superior strength comes speed. We dry-fit each home in our plant, making sure the panels work well together as a system before they are shipped to your job site. This reduces errors and modifications, and many SIP systems are put up in hours.
Design Flexibility
Just about any floorpan can work with SIPs. Choose the plan for your project, and we can convert them to SIPs, then incorporate beams, wood, stone, metal, siding and other elements to help bring your idea to reality.
Eco-Panels can be used on almost ANY design or application where a framed wall is specified.
