Our standard 6" wall panels offer R-23 insulation. Roof and thicker wall panels range up to R-45, depending on thickness and configuration.

Wall panels typically range from 4" to 6" thick. Roof panels are commonly 8" to 12¼" thick depending on the insulation value and load requirements.

Yes. Our SIPs are rated for wind speeds up to 200 mph+ and are engineered to exceed code requirements for structural, seismic, and wind loads. Weight ratings for snow loads are estimated at roughly 330lbs per sq ft.

Yes. SIPs are tested for fire resistance and constructed with closed-cell foam that resists mold and mildew. Our panels also include a termite-resistant additive registered with the EPA. Panels come coated with frame guard protection.

Each panel includes factory-routed electrical chases that allow electricians to easily pull wiring through the walls during rough-in. A vertical chase is in the middle of the panel, horizontally chases are located at 46” and at 16” from floor for plugs and switches.

Plumbing is typically run through interior framed partition walls. If necessary, larger chases can be pre-planned and routed in the SIPs.

Green Edge SIP homes can be built on virtually any foundation type. We regularly design for: Slab-on-grade, Crawl spaces, Basements, Stem wall systems, Pier-and-beam foundations, & Elevated/stilt foundations for flood-prone or coastal zones.

Yes. SIPs can be used for flooring systems and adapted to crawlspaces, stem walls, pier-and-beam, and elevated stilt foundations.

SIP roofs are compatible with most roofing materials, including asphalt shingles, standing seam metal, and tile. Roofing must be installed with proper venting and moisture protection.

SIP roofs are typically supported by ridge beams or structural panel connections with built-in splines to tie sections together. Final supports depend on your specific engineering.

Yes. Our pre-designed models can be modified to adjust window and door placements before fabrication.

We can produce panels up to 24 feet long, depending on shipping and handling limitations.

Most models are designed for 8 or 9-foot ceilings, but this can be adjusted in the design process.

Yes. All construction documents include electrical and mechanical layouts to help coordinate trades.

We primarily focus on pre-designed models, but we can absolutely do fully custom.

Yes. We can rework your existing architectural plans to be SIP-compatible and provide updated engineered documents.

Minor changes are usually included. Major modifications or full customizations may involve a design or engineering fee.

Your shell package includes pre-cut and labeled wall and roof panels, pre-routed electrical chases, stamped engineered plans, layout diagrams, and installation support.

No. Electrical and plumbing systems are not pre-installed, but chases for wiring are provided within the panels.

You’ll need to provide interior finishes (drywall, paint, cabinetry), roofing material and structural supports, exterior siding or cladding, windows, flooring, and doors.

Drywall is the most common interior finish. Other options include wood panels, OSB, or pre-laminated sheets depending on your preference.

Fiber cement, engineered wood, metal panels, or stucco can all be applied to SIPs with appropriate attachment methods.

Lead times vary, but most shell packages are delivered within 4–8 weeks after final design approval.

We deliver nationwide and can accomodate worldwide. Shipping cost depends on distance, site access, and package size.

Yes. All Green Edge Homes SIP panels come with a 20-year manufacturer warranty covering structural integrity and insulation performance, giving you long-term peace of mind.

Costs vary by model and size, but most Green Edge SIP shells range from $28–$35 per square foot.

While Green Edge Homes does not offer in-house financing, we partner with lenders and consultants who are experienced with SIP construction. Because our panel systems are fully code-compliant and come with stamped engineered plans, load calculations, ICC/UL/TDI/Florida Product certifications, and a 20–year structural warranty, they qualify for nearly all major loan programs, including: Conventional construction-to-perm loans, FHA 203(k) renovation and construction loans, VA One-Time Close loans for veterans, USDA rural development loans (site-dependent), Private investment loans or DSCR products for investor builds.

The call helps us learn about your goals, location, timeline, and whether a Green Edge shell is the right fit for your project.
