Round Foot° Homes - Building Materials
We Engineer Using SIPs
Round Foot° Homes are engineered using Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) because:
- They are available from manufacturers and dealers all across the USA, located in every geographic region.
- The material in SIPs includes mostly
- expanded polystyrene foam (EPS) a waste byproduct of gasoline manufacturing, or
- polyisocyanurate foam, cited by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for its responsible impact on the environment.
- SIPs homes are stronger, tighter and ‘greener’ than conventionally constructed homes.
- SIPs range from R-values of R-14 to over R-50 and are bonded both sides with your choice of material.
- Depending on the manufacturer selected, options can include:
- Structural Plywood (oriented strand board – OSB) (2 sides):
See Structural Insulated Panel Association (SIPA) for a picture. - Gypsum wall board or fiber reinforced gypsum added to one or both sides (structural plywood on the other face).
See NRG Building Systems for a picture. - Structural Plywood (OSB) (2 sides) with interior and/or exterior T&G siding or T&G finished lumber:
See Eagle Panel Systems for a picture.
- Structural Plywood (oriented strand board – OSB) (2 sides):
- SIPs are an adaptable, flexible building product. They can be used for interior and/or exterior walls, under flooring, and to construct the roof structure.
- SIPs provide a very energy-efficient easy-to-maintain home.
