Greenix Polyurethane vs EPS SIPs
Over the years we’ve had numerous questions regarding the difference in our Greenix Polyurethane vs EPS SIPs Panels. Below is a comparison chart that points out the differences between the two types. When comparing prices, be sure to include the extra labor/hours required during installation when using EPS Panels, as they require on-site alterations to create the panel connections and routing and framing for the doors, windows and electrical box openings. We prefer to manufacture panels that are “ready to set” once delivered with no more effort than fitting the panels together.

| Foam Density | 2.2 lbs. min | 1.0 – 1.5 lbs. | |
| Ready-made Connection | Yes | Scoop & Spline | |

I would like to build a 24′ x 48′ Ranch home on a crawl space, with a 5 pitch roof.
The home will be built in Newark, Delaware. If I Fax or Email you a rough sketch, can you give me an approximate cost to build it using your SIP panels ?
I am trying to get a cost to build the home for the bank.
Thank You for your help

Hi Lance,
Thank you for posting your question on our blog. You can use our Request a Quote feature on our main website and upload your sketch for review. Be sure to include as much information with your request as possible – you will need to include the floorplan and elevations. Also the size of panel, R-Value, wind load and snow load if you have that as well.
Thanks,
SIP Supply
