Insulspan Homes are Stronger and Safer

Disaster Resistant

Homes built with Structural Insulated Panels have withstood natural disasters such as earthquakes, fire and hurricanes better than conventionally framed homes. The reasons are twofold: the strong OSB 'skins' and the engineered building system itself.

Storm Resistant

Airborne debris becomes a major threat to property and lives in severe storms. At 80 mph, a tree branch or similar debris can knife through exterior walls and imbed inside your home. But the twin OSB engineered wood 'skins' and solid foam core of Insulspan SIPs are better able to resist penetration, protecting you and your family.

The inherent structural nature of INSULSPAN SIPs produces walls and roofs that are stronger and stiffer than those in conventionally framed homes. In high wind scenarios, the extreme pressures exerted on stick frame homes can cause walls and roofs to fail. The INSULSPAN SIP building system is inherently much more storm and earthquake resistant.
