Residential Packages

Structall offers a complete line of pre-engineered and precut home and garage packages utilizing Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) technology. All packages erect quickly, are stronger than conventional framing and extremely energy efficient. SIPs can be clad in steel incorporating the patented Snap-N-Lock™ panel connection or conventional OSB.

From concept to completion, we show our commitment to quality.

Energy Efficient Home Rebate Programs

Many state and local governments and energy producing agencies have incentive programs available to encourage homeowners to build using more energy efficient technologies. To find out what is available, contact your local power company and the state DOE office in your area. If programs are available, they will send you all the necessary forms to fill out. Once your home is built, a blower door test is conducted to determine the energy efficiency rating of the home. If the home meets ENERGY STAR guidelines you will qualify for rebates, which may even be nontaxable.

Builders should periodically check government web sites for the current status on these bills and any additional bills that may be on the floor for debate.

Lending Advantages

Some lending institutions will increase the income-to-debt ratios for homeowners buying Energy Star homes. The logic is, if you're saving money on your monthly utility bill, you would have more money available to put towards a higher mortgage payment and qualify for a higher mortgage balance. This enables the homeowner to buy a better home than what they could otherwise afford.

Holding Up To Nature

The SNAP-N-LOCK™ panel is engineered to hold up against nature's toughest challenges. Quite possibly, one of the toughest challenges a home must withstand is surviving the constant onset of pesky insects like termites. Unlike wood, the SNAP-N-LOCK™ panel offers no food value to insects. The panel, when clad with light gauge steel skins, makes for the "Ultimate Steel Stud." Used in conjunction with interior light gauge steel framing and insect resistant foam, this version of the house package can truly be termite proof.

In several cases where homes within close proximity to one another were leveled by tornadoes, hurricanes or earthquakes, SIP homes have been found standing. The continuous wall and roof prevents sudden surges of air pressure within the home. The Snap-N-Lock™ Insulated Panel also has the strength of an I-beam. The skins act like flanges, taking compressive and tensile loads, while the insulation works like an I-beam web, distributing shear forces and keeping the skins from buckling.

Humidity is one of the most destructive elements of nature, in regards to construction materials. Aluminum or steel laminated to both sides of the panel provides an impermeable barrier against the transmission of water vapor. The coefficient of permeability for the SNAP-N-LOCK™ panel is 00, compared to a 2.4 coefficient for brick. The rating is determined by the quantity of water vapor that can penetrate the material in 1 hour/sq. ft. x 1" Hg. mercury. A surface has increased impermeability the smaller the rating. Metal skins can be custom laminated to any of our OSB panels to create a water vapor barrier on one or both sides of the panel.
