The Process

The Product Thermapan SIPs

Finished Homes Built by, Gatta Homes,

Thermapan SIPs allow
home builders to expedite
the building process by
more than two weeks.
Installation is fast and
straightforward, cutting
down on lengthier building
times associated with
traditional wall systems
and lowering labour costs.
Thermapan SIPs provide
other benefits, too. A
solid system replaces the
conventional two-by-six
exterior frame, creating
a stronger and straighter
wall. There are fewer
callbacks once the home
is built, creating greater
efficiencies and savings.

TELL US The Scoop

The Thermapan system can save homeowners 30 to 35
percent in energy costs each year. It also provides an
exceptional return on investment, as they quickly earn back
their initial investment with outstanding savings in heating
and air conditioning costs alone. Not to mention that homes
built with Structural Insulated Panels typically command a
higher price on the resale market. Furthermore, the thick
foam-core used in the panels produces a quieter home, and
the airtight materials reduce dry rot and mould, eliminating
key factors that cause Sick House Syndrome.

Tried and True

"Our customers are quickly learning the
benefits. More than half request SIPs
upfront during the design stage, and many
more are sold on the system after a little
research," Mr. Gatta of Gatta Homes
notes. "With Thermapan SIPs, we incur

less waste on the job site. Once built,
the home is quieter and stronger with
straighter walls. Since we began using
Thermapan SIPs we have had no call
backs on screw pops or cracks, even in
winter built homes."
