FAQs

SIPs consist of an insulating foam core (usually EPS or polyurethane) sandwiched between two structural facings, typically OSB (Oriented Strand Board). To learn more about SIP construction, give our team at Solid Ground Homes & Remodeling a call today.

Very! SIP construction provides high R-values, minimal air leakage, and continuous insulation, significantly reducing heating and cooling costs.

Yes. SIP construction is prefabricated and can be erected much faster than stick-framed walls, reducing labor time and costs. Did you know that, according to Construction Dive, construction planning is up 26% at the start of 2025? Call us today to get started with your project!

ICFs are hollow foam blocks (usually EPS) that are stacked and then filled with concrete, forming a reinforced concrete wall. Call our team today to learn more about ICF construction.

ICF walls have high R-values (typically R-22 to R-30) and excellent thermal mass, reducing energy use and improving comfort. Call us to learn more about ICF construction!

Yes. ICF construction walls are highly fire-resistant due to the concrete core and fire-rated foam insulation.

Not much. Curved walls and unique layouts are possible with ICF construction, though they may require additional planning or cutting.

Yes. With ICF construction, walls offer excellent soundproofing compared to wood-framed walls.

The upfront cost of SIP construction can be higher, but labor savings and energy efficiency typically offset the difference over time.
