Structural insulated panels · Hillsboro, Texas

Control, not compromise.®

R-Control SIPs and Nailbase are engineered and cut to your drawings in our Hillsboro plant. Structure, insulation and sheathing arrive as one panel, so walls and roofs go up faster and hold temperature for the life of the building.

More R-value in a thinner wall.

Stud walls lose insulation value at every stud, plate and header. An R-Control panel is continuous foam from edge to edge, so the rated number holds across the whole wall. Pick a thickness to see its rating.

Crew setting R-Control SIP walls on a slab

Fewer crews on site and a faster dry-in.

  • Less laborA BASF study cited by SIPA found SIP installation cut jobsite labor by 55%.
  • Labeled panelsEach panel is numbered to the layout, so your crew sets walls in order instead of cutting on site.
  • Straight wallsFactory-cut panels are flat and square, which makes drywall, cabinets and trim go faster.
  • Less wasteCutting happens in the plant, so there is little scrap to haul away.
Watch install videos

From drawings to dry-in.

Five steps, one supplier. We stay on the job from the first layout to the last sealed joint.

  1. 1

    Send your plans

    Email drawings or CAD files. We review the design and quote the panel package.

  2. 2

    Panel layout

    We produce shop drawings with every panel sized, numbered and checked against the load charts.

  3. 3

    Factory cut

    Panels are cut in Hillsboro with openings and wiring chases done before shipping.

  4. 4

    Delivered

    Panels ship labeled and stacked in install order to sites across the region.

  5. 5

    Set and seal

    Your crew sets the panels and seals every joint with R-Control SIP tape and sealant.

Standing projects.

Homes, schools, hotels and visitor centers built with R-Control panels.

What would a tighter envelope save?

Move the slider to your current heating and cooling spend. The estimate uses the 40 to 60 percent heating and cooling reduction commonly reported for SIP buildings.

Planning estimate only. Real savings depend on design, climate, windows and HVAC equipment.

Questions we hear on every job.

Something else on your mind? Call the plant at 254-324-7477.

Do SIPs cost more than stick framing?
The panel package usually costs more than lumber and batts alone. Compare the whole job instead: framing labor, schedule, jobsite waste, HVAC sizing and energy bills. SIPA's True Cost Bid Tool walks through that comparison.
What about termites in Texas?
Every R-Control SIP uses Foam-Control EPS treated with Perform Guard, which is EPA registered, termite resistant, safe for people and code compliant. It comes standard.
How do electricians run wire?
Wiring chases are built into the panels at the plant, so electricians pull wire through them instead of drilling studs. Our wiring guidelines video shows the full method.
Are SIPs accepted by code and fire rated?
R-Control SIPs have been tested by nationally recognized laboratories and meet or exceed structural and fire code requirements. Code compliance reports and load design charts are in the library for your engineer and building official.
Where do you deliver?
We ship from Hillsboro across Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and surrounding states.
Which thickness do I need?
It depends on your energy code, spans and loads. Walls commonly use 4½ or 6½ in. panels and roofs use thicker panels. Send your plans and we will size every panel against the load design charts.
