SIP Panels Toronto
Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) installation in Toronto. Energy-efficient SIP framing systems for custom homes and additions.
Professional SIP Panel Installation in the GTA
Konstruction Group provides professional SIP (Structural Insulated Panel) installation services in Toronto for builders and general contractors. SIP panels combine structural framing and insulation into a single, factory-manufactured component that installs faster than traditional framing while delivering superior thermal performance. We install SIP walls, roofs, and floors - working with your project team to coordinate panel delivery and proper installation per manufacturer specifications. Once panels are set, we complete the interior with drywall finishing.
What Are SIP Panels?
Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) are prefabricated building components consisting of a foam insulation core (EPS, XPS, or polyurethane) bonded between two structural facings, typically OSB (oriented strand board). The result is a rigid, strong panel that provides structure, insulation, and air barrier in one component. SIPs can be used for walls, roofs, and floors, creating highly efficient building envelopes.
Our SIP Services
- SIP Wall Installation – Exterior wall panels providing structure and R-20+ insulation in a single assembly
- SIP Roof Panels – Insulated roof panels eliminating need for separate rafters and insulation
- SIP Floor Systems – Insulated floor panels for cantilevered floors and over unheated spaces
- Custom Home Construction – Complete SIP building envelope for maximum energy efficiency
- Addition & Renovation – SIP panels for home additions, garden suites, and retrofit projects
- Commercial SIP Buildings – Warehouses, workshops, and commercial structures using SIP construction
Benefits of SIP Construction
- Superior Insulation – SIPs achieve R-values from R-20 to R-40+, outperforming traditional framing
- Airtight Construction – Fewer joints and seams mean less air infiltration and better energy performance
- Faster Installation – Large prefabricated panels install much faster than stick framing
- Structural Strength – Panels act as stressed-skin structures, strong and resistant to racking
- Reduced Lumber Use – Less wood framing means more sustainable construction
- Design Flexibility – Custom panel sizing accommodates various architectural designs
SIP Installation Expertise
Proper SIP installation is critical for performance. Our crews are trained in SIP-specific techniques including proper panel placement, connection details, sealing joints, and integrating with conventional framing elements. We understand the importance of maintaining the continuous insulation and air barrier that makes SIPs perform. For areas where SIPs aren't suitable, we complement with spray foam insulation. We work with major SIP manufacturers and follow their installation specifications exactly.

How much do SIP panels cost compared to traditional framing?
SIP construction typically costs 10-20% more than conventional framing for materials and installation. However, SIPs reduce overall project costs by speeding up construction and eliminating separate insulation installation. The long-term energy savings from superior insulation often offset the initial premium within a few years.
What R-value do SIP panels provide?
SIP R-values depend on panel thickness and core material. Typical 4-1/2 inch SIPs provide R-16 to R-20, 6-1/2 inch panels achieve R-24 to R-28, and 8-1/4 inch panels reach R-32 or higher. Because SIPs eliminate thermal bridging from studs, whole-wall R-values are significantly better than stud wall equivalents.
Can SIPs be used for commercial buildings?
Yes, SIPs are widely used in commercial construction including warehouses, agricultural buildings, schools, and light industrial facilities. Commercial SIP projects benefit from fast installation and excellent energy performance. Fire rating requirements may require additional protective layers in some commercial applications.
How do you run electrical and plumbing in SIP walls?
SIP manufacturers provide channels routed into the panels during fabrication for electrical runs. Electrical boxes are recessed into the panel core. Plumbing is typically run in interior partition walls rather than SIP panels. Careful planning during design phase ensures utility routing is accommodated.
Are SIPs stronger than stick framing?
SIPs are extremely strong because they act as stressed-skin structures, similar to an I-beam. The OSB skins carry loads while the foam core prevents buckling. SIP buildings have demonstrated excellent performance in hurricanes and earthquakes. They also resist racking forces better than conventional framing.
