Premier SIPs

Premier’s incredible framing systems create turn-key high-performance building envelopes for homes, multi-family residences, schools, medical facilities, and an array of commercial and institutional buildings.  Other benefits include construction time and money savings for builders, design flexibility and environmental products benefits for architects, and healthier, more comfortable structures with reduced utility costs for building owners. As a leader in the SIPs industry, Premier Building Systems is proud to be at the forefront of residential, commercial & industrial high-performance building envelope systems

Premier SIPs are stronger than conventional framing, straighter based on engineered materials and the elimination of traditionally inconsistent conventional lumber, and predictable for wall, roof, and floor construction. The large-section panels install fast, helping reduce building cycle time and jobsite labor. They are virtually airtight for improved indoor air quality and a healthier living environment, providing superior insulating values and a tight building envelope. This helps reduce heating and cooling energy use up to 60 percent and help reduce jobsite waste up to two-thirds. They can also help contribute toward points in leading green building programs, including up to 46 points in LEED® for Homes and up to 39 points in LEED® for New Construction.

Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) from Premier Building Systems span the full length of the 12-foot roof on the Seattle Cascades Vision House. Using SIPs for the roofing material drastically reduces the need for supports in the roof structure. By using SIPs, we create incredible opportunities to utilize the space in the home without adding to the footprint of the floor plan. The SIPs roof is airtight, watertight, and structurally sound, which controls energy gains and losses.
