It is becoming more evident that the choices we make impact the environment,  the importance of building an eco-friendly, energy-efficient home is a given. By making smarter choices in our designs and our materials, we're creating healthier homes and helping to preserve our planet's resources.

Hall and Wright's SIPS can be made to work for any home style, size and location.  We can build to a set of plans that you already have, you can choose one of our beautiful models or our architects can design you a custom house.  The possibilities are endless when it comes to building with SIPS.

Our SIPS homes are very competitively priced.  The models we offer are the same price per square foot as conventional framing, but with the benefits of a 40-60% lower electric bill.

Built stronger and straighter, structural insulated panels (SIPs) create a tight envelope of insulation, blanketing the home with a superior seal. They virtually eliminate drafts as well as ensure low sound transmission, mold resistance, and better indoor-air quality—not to mention, lower energy costs for the homeowner and fewer greenhouse gases for the rest of us. Tougher to the core, they're built to withstand heavy snow, wind, and rain, so that the elements stay where they should—outside.

Manufactured under factory-controlled conditions by experienced engineers, our high-performance SIPs are custom designed for every project. Hall & Wright Builders, SIPs can be cut into any shape, giving architects and designers the ultimate creative freedom. To ensure the highest quality and customer service, all SIPs are installed onsite by our expert crew.

Open floor plan with no interior walls obstructing the view? No problem. Do you want 20 foot cathedral ceilings? SIPS can make it possible.  Virtually all house plans can be used for sips construction, and eliminate the need for roof trusses. Think of all that wasted space that can now be used for a storage area, game/media room or the extra bedroom you have always wanted.  Most home plans are designed to use roof trusses to support the roof.  With SIPS they are structural and can cover a greater span, using ridge beams to lay the roof panels on can make that single story home plan a two story home and almost double the square footage.

The sustainable story with SIPs is pretty cut and dry. They're 100% recyclable, provide 40 to 60% energy cost savings, and use 50% less lumber than traditional stick-framed homes with fiberglass insulation. Built with the integrity of steel I-beams, our structural insulated panels are superior in construction, performance, and insulation. But most of all, they're the deepest shade of green.

Better for your home

A Structural Insulated Panel or SIP is just what it sounds like: A pre-made wall that serves as both frame and insulation. The panel is made of two pieces of Oriented Strand Board(OSB) sandwiching expanded polystyrene foam (EPS)

When compared to buildings framed with dimensional lumber, SIPs cover greater surfaces and are laser cut off site, they fit precisely to form a more tightly sealed home with far less gaps in the walls and roofs, offering home and building owners better indoor air quality, reduced infiltration of outside pollutants, smaller HVAC systems needs and superior indoor temperature control. Hall & Wright Builders homes and buildings stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter than buildings framed with dimensional lumber.

SIPS EPS insulations are free of chloroflourocarbons CFCs(ozone depleter) which earns it a green rating.  The OSB is from fast-growing, renewable wood sources, no old growth wood is used.  Even the sealant used to bond the panels is urea-formaldehyde free.  Because the panels are cut offsite, they fit perfect and are easily assembled. This practice also greatly reduces job-site debris and clean up.  It takes 50% less lumber product to build a SIPS house than a regular stick built home.

All of these attributes combine to make SIPS more efficient and ecologically sound.
