Commercial Projects

Learn about structural insulated panels and how they can benefit your next project.

While many people associate Structural Insulated Panels with homes, SIPs can work great for commercial projects, too, in many contexts. And in addition to creating super-efficient buildings, they are also very quick to build. Particularly for projects that want to achieve a LEED certification or have sustainable attributes, SIPs can be an easy way to accomplish those goals.

Why Use SIPs on a Commercial Project?

Superior energy efficiency

Structural insulated panels significantly reduce energy costs by providing continuous insulation and reducing thermal bridging, keeping your spaces warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

Rapid Installation

SIPS buildings go up 30% faster than other building systems. This means less hours on the job site and a significant cost savings for home builders.

Cost Effective

Although SIP panels sometimes come with a higher initial price, building owners typically recoup those costs through energy savings within 10 years. SIP panels are much more cost-effective than solar panels or alternative forms of energy generation.

SIPs In Use

In 2023, FischerSIPs expanded their own manufacturing plant using structural insulated panels. By building with SIPs, they were able to double the size of the manufacturing facility while only increasing energy bills by 20 percent. The building contractor was also surprised how quickly they went together, assembling in days what he estimated would take two to three weeks.
