"BRIDLEWOOD BUILDERS is a Structural
Insulated Panel Association (SIPA) member, a certified SIPS installer and the
first builder in the country to become a REGISTERED MASTER BUILDER under the new SIPA program.
SIPS are high-performance building panels for floors, walls and roofs in residential and commercial buildings. Each panel is typically made using expanded polystyrene (EPS), or polyisocyanurate rigid foam insulation sandwiched between two strutural skins of oriented strand board (OSB), but other surfaces are also available to meet your needs. The result is a building system that is very strong, predictable, energy efficient, and cost effective." -- Structural Insulated Panel Association web site--
"SIP buildings are vastly more energy efficient, stronger, quieter, and more draft free than other building systems, such as stud framing with fiberglass insulation. Fiberglass is sometimes used for furnace filters because air moves through so freely. Rigid insulation is used as solid component insulation in almost every industry for its inherent efficiency and lack of air movement. These attributes are built right into a SIP building. Less air leakage means fewer drafts, less noise, lower energy bills, and a much more comfortable indoor environment."

Advantages of a SIPS home:
- Energy costs can be reduced by 70% or more
- Homes are quieter and have better indoor air quality
- Simplifies construction for vaulted/cathedral ceilings
- Construct exterior walls in days instead of weeks
- Can utilize traditional interior (drywall, paneling, etc.) and exterior (vinyl, cedar, stone, stucco, etc.) finish materials
- Energy Star Homes qualified
- Precut at factory saves time and waste on the job site
"If you are considering building a SIPS home, you will definitely want it
built by a SIPA registered MASTER BUILDER such as Bridlewood.
By using a builder without proper training and years of experience, your Dream home may very likely turn into a nightmare.
