Versatile and Energy-Efficient SIP Panels for Roof
SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels) are getting popular for a good reason. You can use these panels not only for the walls and floors but also for the roof of SIP houses. Since SIPs are made of an insulating polystyrene foam sandwiched between two EGGER 12 mm OSB3 panels, this three-layer product provides excellent thermal efficiency and can maintain a very stable indoor temperature.
Strong, Durable, and Built to Withstand Any Climate
Great thermal performance is not the only reason why SIP roofs stand out from other roofing methods. SIP roofs are considered very strong, durable, and can bear heavy loads. This feature is particularly important for climates with a lot of rain, heavy winds, or even snow. Speaking about extreme weather conditions, the roof of SIP houses not only withstands them but is also resistant to cracking, bowing, or warping compared to some other traditional roofing methods. It also creates an airtight envelope that reduces air leakage, ensures consistent temperature control, provides great thermal efficiency, and improves indoor air quality. With correct installation and maintenance, SIP roofs can last a lifetime.
