Structural Insulated Panels
Structural insulated panels make up a building system consisting of oriented strand board (OSB) straddling an extended polystyrene center for insulation. SIPs, as they are called, have the strength of I-beams and I-columns, a total building product replacing the traditional studs and joists of framing, insulation and vapor seal. Besides strength, SIPs provide a great insulation factor that makes the homes very energy efficient. |

Garage Apartments
Homeowners are remodeling their garages to gain extra living space without having to move up to larger home in a different neighborhood or altering their home structure. Depending on the regulations or covenants in the area this extra room can be converted into many options including an apartment, home office, in-law suite or private living area for hobbies. |

Efficient Custom Homes-Energize Your Home Building
Building an energy-efficient, custom home requires more than insulation but the cooperation of the sun and the environment to insure that the energy costs are minimized. This includes using thermal materials that absorb, store and then circulate the heat that radiates from the sun and then to release it from these surfaces when the outside temperature turns colder at night. |
