“This was a very difficult site, with very little room to store materials on-site. The use of SIPS allowed us to bring in a very compact set of wall panels, install them, and then bring in the triangle-shaped roof panels, install in the roof in just one day, including the roof beams. You would have been there for weeks trying to stick-frame this roof, and would not have even been able to meet the ventilation requirements for a vented roof system. Though not required in this location, the home also meets the requirements for the Wildlands-Urban Interface Code.” Ted Clifton, owner Clifton View Homes

WHY WERE SIPS CHOSEN:

• Cost efficiency when compared to overall stick home build
• Ability to provide certified Zero-energy ready home
• Enhance overall design quality
