Lower Energy Bills

Homeowners living in a Seacoast Cottage built with SIPs can expect their electric power bills to fall by at least 30% and as much as 70%, compared to the energy costs of a comparable, traditionally constructed home.

The factory-built roof and wall panels, consisting of a polystyrene sandwich, have a wall value of R-24 in the walls and R-30 in the floors and roof.

The system places heating and air conditioning ductwork inside climate-controlled space, minimizing energy loss. This extraordinary insulating power is what keeps energy costs low.

Extremely Strong Structure

The super-strong structural envelope creates the ideal foundation for a storm-resistant home.

Featuring a strong wind frame anchored to an engineered concrete foundation, the system joins factory-built wall and roof panels — breaking strength of approximately 7,000 pounds — with heavy galvanized metal splines fixed with self-tapping stainless-steel screws.

Quiter and Cleaner

The thick solid insulation reduces noise and dust infiltration

Easy to Wire

Pre-cut electrical chases are built into every panel so that the wiring of the outer walls can be easily done.
