Our current Project of the Month is a job by Tim Adgate. This 40x60 single story home is located in scenic Mountain City, Tennessee. For his project, Tim used 4 ½” wall panels and 4’x24’x10 ½” roof panels. Fischer SIPS provided him with full pre-cut panels.

The 10 ½” panels are the thickest we make, giving Tim the strongest and most energy efficient roof that we have to offer. These panels are ideal for his vaulted ceilings. Tim choose to use SIPS to give his home superior strength to handle the heavy wind loads coming off the near by mountains, while at the same time save him money on his energy bills.

Tim Adgate is an independent do it yourself contractor. This was not only his first project using Fischer SIPS, but was also his first construction project. He said that he decided to use SIPs because he was a novice and that building with SIPs was like putting together a jigsaw puzzle. He was also concerned about rising energy costs and found that SIPs offer superior insulation. Tim chose Fischer after shopping around with several of our competitors because he said that we were upfront about our prices and that our salesmen were very helpful.

This shot of the ridge beam being put into place clearly shows the 4-½” wall panels already standing as well as the 10 ½” roof panels on the ground.

Precut wall panels are designed to make it quicker to insert doors and windows.

For vaulted ceilings like this, Fischer SIPS can handle a maximum free span of 24 feet.

Fischer SIP panels can be used to cover this vaulted ceiling without the need for trusses.

Instead of using pre-cuts our panels can easily be cut on site to accommodate windows and doors.
