Building With Structural Insulated Panels (Sips)
by Michael Morley
This book is a good introduction to structural insulated panels (SIPs), although it is geared toward the more readily available polystyrene SIPs rather than the polyurethane SIPs we use at Sunlight Homes. Much of the information is applicable to both types of panels, however. Clearly written for professionals, the book covers the manufacture and assembly of SIP structures in a way that isn't overly technical. A good choice for anyone wanting to understand the more technical issues of building with SIPs. |
