Affordability

Up Front

Typically SIP homes have an "up front" cost of between 3% and 5% over that of a standard stick framed house. Depending upon design, the differences can be negligible. SIP construction is so unlike stick frame construction that cost comparisons should factor in time and materials required to insulate the walls, and to insulate and vent the attic.

The Bigger Picture

You will save more money per month on energy than you will putting towards increased mortgage payments. Once you have recuperated the extra cost, you will of course continue saving!
