Why Preflex SIPS Should Be Your Go-To Choice for Construction Projects

PREFLEX Retrofit Insulated Panels (RIPs) offer an advanced solution for energy-efficient construction and renovation projects. These panels are ideal for deep energy retrofits as they effectively eliminate thermal bridging, and they are also highly suitable for new construction due to their durability and ease of installation. By reducing heat loss through exterior walls, our Retrofit Insulated Panels not only enhance energy efficiency but also improve overall comfort levels within the home, making them a practical choice for homeowners looking to reduce energy costs.

Low Thermal Conductivity

PREFLEX RIPs excel in hot climates due to their superior thermal performance. With a low thermal conductivity (K value) and low emissivity (E value), our panels rank among the most efficient insulation materials available on the market today. The foam core of the panels prevents air movement, eliminating the risk of convection and condensation within the structure, ensuring a stable, energy-efficient environment.

Cost-Effective Alternative to Traditional Construction

PREFLEX RIPs present a cost-effective alternative to conventional construction materials, such as traditional plywood. These panels not only provide enhanced energy efficiency but also deliver improved aesthetics and design flexibility. By eliminating thermal bridging, they transform homes into more energy-efficient spaces while offering significant cost savings compared to traditional building methods. This makes Retrofit Insulated Panels an increasingly popular choice for both home renovations and new builds.

Structural Integrity and Safety

Our Retrofit Insulated Panels are engineered to meet high structural safety standards. Designed to provide superior thermal insulation, air sealing, and fire protection, RIPs ensure that your building remains safe and secure. Each panel undergoes rigorous testing to ensure compliance with specific structural and safety requirements, making them a reliable solution for a wide range of projects.

Effortless Installation

Installation of PREFLEX RIPs is straightforward and efficient. The panels can be easily fastened to existing framing or directly over exterior sheathing, allowing for minimal disruption during installation. Their R-value is determined by the orientation and thickness of the panels, ensuring optimal performance. Install clips at each joint to maintain proper alignment and avoid excessive pressure on the insulation layer.

Continuous Exterior Insulation

PREFLEX Retrofit Insulated Panels integrate continuous insulation and an air barrier layer in a single step, offering a labor-saving solution for both deep energy retrofits and new construction. This continuous exterior insulation helps achieve a high-performance, airtight building envelope, reducing your home’s carbon footprint and lowering heating costs during the winter. By enhancing the overall insulation of your building, RIPs provide an efficient solution that can dramatically improve the energy efficiency of any structure.

In summary, PREFLEX Retrofit Insulated Panels offer an energy-efficient, cost-effective, and structurally sound option for improving the insulation and performance of your home. Whether for new construction or deep retrofits, RIPs help you achieve superior comfort, reduced energy costs, and a sustainable living space.
