Pictures coming.

I am "in for the ride" ! I personally discovered SIP a few years ago and am convinced, if I ever build a structure that will be heated and/or cooled I will use SIPs !

Lots of questions.
  • Did the SIP supplier provide plans ?
  • What thickness are the walls and roof ?
  • There are several different methods of "spline-ing" the panels together. What does your supplier use for both walls and roof sections ?
  • The roof panels have to be over 20' long. I assume they are one piece, correct ?
  • From a rookie perspective, the ridge joint and the joint at the top of the wall look a bit tricky. Pictures or diagrams, please !
