What are Sips?
Structural insulated panels (SIPs) are high-performance building system for residential and light commercial construction. The panels consist of an insulating foam core sandwiched between two structural facings, typically oriented strand board (OSB). SIPs are manufactured under factory-controlled conditions and can be fabricated to fit nearly any building design. The result is a building system that is extremely strong, energy-efficient, and cost-effective. Building with SIPs will save you time, money, and labor.
There are many benefits to using SIPs:
- Exceptional thermal performance
- Healthier air quality
- Highly energy-efficient
- Faster construction with less labor
- The flexibility to design the building to fit the needs for everyone.

Due to COVID-19 and the importance of keeping Takla community safe, this project experienced delays that have impacted the completion date, but we are well on our way to having the final products ready to showcase and we look forward to sharing this with everyone. It is very important to us to have consultation with Takla Nation community members to get to the root of housing needs. We will be planning a trip to the community in the Fall 2021 to discuss our goals, housing needs and how we can move forward to creating a livable future. Stay tuned for details!
