Sips Building Technologies ' SIPS ... Sips Building Technologies ' Structural Insulated Panelized System (SIPS) is made of Expanded PolyStyrene (EPS). The EPS material is 100% recyclable and contains NO CFC's or HCFC's gases. There are no chemicals present to cause out gassing.

STRENGTH, QUALITY & SPEED ... The EPS panels are delivered in sheets as long as 16 feet. Wall panels are typically 7 1/4" thick. Channels are "hot-wired" to insert 1" x 2" 20 gauge galvanized steel studs . Each EPS framing system is engineered and quality checked by ABB's team of professionals, ensuring you of a quality product. And because the EPS framing components do not warp like lumber, the walls are straight and square which will reduce construction time and make your finish crews' job that much easier. Structure quality is no longer dependent upon builder/contractor experience, but is "built in" with our innovative EPS framing system.

PLUMBING ROUGH IN & ELECTRICAL WIRING ... Plumbers and electricians alike love Sips Building Technologies ' EPS framing system because it makes their job so much easier. A channel is "hot-wired" in the EPS wall panels which runs the circumference of the house/structure for the electrical wiring. Special casings are easily cut out of the panels with a "hot knife" or wire loop to allow for the rough-in plumbing.

WALL TO FOUNDATION CONNECTION ... The EPS panels fit into a an 18 gauge metal U-shaped plate that is securely fastened to the concrete foundation which eliminates the need to leave any rebar exposed. The galvanized steel tubes and the angle steel used in the EPS framing system along with the sturdy means of securing the walls to the foundation provide for unsurpassed structural strength.
