SIPs Panel Construction — EcoPanels of Tennessee
Every Affordable Home US property is built using Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) manufactured by EcoPanels of Tennessee. SIPs are a high-performance building system consisting of an insulating foam core sandwiched between two structural facings — delivering exceptional energy efficiency, structural integrity, and speed of construction.
Why EcoPanels SIPs?
- 50-80% reduction in heating and cooling costs
- Up to 2x faster construction compared to traditional framing
- Superior structural strength — ASTM-E72 tested
- Real-world tornado survival documented (WCU/NSF research)
- Tighter building envelope reduces air infiltration
Storm Resistance
SIPs construction has been documented surviving EF2 and EF3 tornadoes with minimal structural damage in independent research by Western Carolina University and the National Science Foundation. The continuous panel system eliminates the weak points found in traditional stud-framed walls.
Panel Types Available
EcoPanels of Tennessee offers wall panels, roof panels, and floor panels — allowing a complete SIPs building envelope for maximum efficiency and strength.
