A structural insulated panel, or structural insulating panel, (SIP), is a form of sandwich panel used as a building material in the construction industry. SIP is a sandwich structured composite , consisting of an insulating layer of rigid core sandwiched between two layers of structural board.

Corner view of ThermaSAVE panel segment abut Completed ThermaSAVE panel awaits destructive testing.. ThermaSAVE is a panel building system which uses a 4 to 12-inch-thick core of expanded polystyrene (similar to Styrofoam) sandwiched between two sheets of cellulose fiber-reinforced cement board varying in thickness from 3/8 to 7/16 inch, depending on structural requirements.
Sandwich panels are used in applications where a combination of high structural rigidity and low weight is required. The structural functionality of a sandwich panel is similar to the classic I-beam , where two face sheets primarily resist the in-plane and lateral bending loads (similar to flanges of an I- beam), while the core material mainly ...
Rigid panel insulation, also known as continuous insulation [13] can be made from foam plastics such as polyisocyanurate or polystyrene, or from fibrous materials such as fiberglass, rock and slag wool. Rigid panel continuous insulation is often used to provide a thermal break in the building envelope, thus reducing thermal bridging.
Panel buildings may refer to buildings of one of the following types: Built of structural insulated panels; Built of pre-fabricated concrete blocks, named differently in various countries. Large Panel System building known as Plattenbau in German, Panelák in Czech and Slovak, wielka płyta in Polish and Panelház in Hungarian.

Some manufacturers still use Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) which are still harmful to the ozone layer, but not to the same extent as CFCs. As the blowing agent leaks, air replaces the insulating gas, and the R-value of the panel drops. Most rigid panels are made from crude oil byproducts, and some toxic pollution results during their ...
