SIP Roof Panels
SIP Roofing Panels
The Modern Solution for Energy-Efficiency and Fast Construction.
Better insulation in one faster, easier to assemble product. SIP roofing panels are a more modern alternative for residential and commercial builders looking for a tighter seal and easier assembly. Regardless of whether the walls are constructed of SIP panels, concrete or traditional framing, a SIP roof can provide better insulation, and a faster, easier assembly process.
What are SIPs Roof Panels?
Structural Insulated Panels, or SIPs, combine an insulating foam core between two structural facings, typically oriented strand board (OSB), serving as a combined solution for insulation and structural support. When you think of SIP panels for roofs, imagine a product that offers both thermal insulation and unmatched structural integrity in a singular package. Each panel is manufactured in factory-controlled conditions and can be custom-made for your specific project.
Types of SIP Roof Panels
Traditional panels come in a variety thicknesses and size. Once you decide to explore SIP panels for your roof, contact Fischer SIPs to discuss which panel thickness is right for you. We’ll help you balance the demands of your area — including snow load, needed insulation, and desired energy-efficiency — with your budget. We’ll also talk about your installation process, which will help determine the size of your panels.
Thickness
Thicker SIP roof panels mean additional insulation. Fischer SIPS will help you balance your needs and your budget. Standard thicknesses include:
- 4.5″,
- 6.5″,
- 8.25″,
- 10.25″,
- 12.25″
Size
Larger panels typically mean a quicker installation, but they are also heavier, so you’ll need the right equipment on-site. Typically panels are between 4 and 8 feet wide and can vary between 6 and 24 feet in length. All panels are custom designed to your specific roof.
Specialty SIPs Roofing Panels
In addition to our traditional panels, we also offer a number of specialty panels.
Nailbase Panels
Ideal for retrofitting, nailbase panels are not structural and include just one skin. Varying in thickness between 1.5 to 4 inches, they are ideal for adding to an existing structure before installing a new roof. Because you don’t have to tear up the inside of the home, it’s much less invasive than a traditional SIP panel on an older home.
Pre-attached drywall, pine, and paneling
Some SIP roof panels come with pre-attached finishes, including drywall or paneling. This expedites the finishing process and allows for an installation and finish that is cleaner.
Why Choose SIPs for the Roof?
SIPs roof panels provide numerous benefits. While many consumers initially choose a SIP roof because they want increased energy efficiency SIPs roofing panels offer many other benefits as well.
