Briefing: Structural insulated panels in modern construction (2007)
Journal Article
Hairstans, R., & Kermani, A. (2007). Briefing: Structural insulated panels in modern construction. Proceedings of the ICE - Construction Materials, 160(3), 91-94. https://doi.org/10.1680/coma.2007.160.3.91

Structural insulated panels (SIPs) are typically formed from a thick layer of polystyrene foam sandwiched between two layers of oriented strand board. They have improved insulation qualities due to reduced cold bridging effects and satisfy all ot... Read More about Briefing: Structural insulated panels in modern construction.
