SI-Panel Technology
Revolutionary building technology that makes 7-day construction possible
Structured Insulated Panels • Superior Quality • Proven Performance
What is SI-Panel Technology?
SI-Panels (Structured Insulated Panels) are high-performance building panels used for walls, roofs, and floors. Each panel consists of an insulating foam core sandwiched between two structural facings, creating a single, solid, structural element.
Unlike traditional stick-frame construction that requires separate framing, insulation, and sheathing, SI-Panels combine all three functions into one prefabricated component. This integration is what makes our 7-day assembly possible.
