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.
