SCIP brings structure, continuous insulation and design flexibility into one integrated panel system.
SCIP stands for Structural Concrete Insulated Panel. A typical system includes a rigid expanded-polystyrene insulating core, welded galvanized steel mesh on both faces and diagonal truss wires connecting the meshes through the core.
The lightweight panels are erected and connected on site. Additional reinforcement is installed where required around panel joints, corners, openings, roof interfaces and foundations. Approved shotcrete concrete or mortar is then applied to both faces. After curing, the wall becomes an insulated reinforced-concrete monolithic assembly.
SCIP is not the same as SIP
SCIP
Steel mesh + insulating foam core + structural concrete/mortar skins forming a reinforced cementitious assembly.
SIP
Foam insulation bonded between board skins like OSB. A different structural system with wood detailing.
Continuous thermal insulation and concrete mass moderate temperature swings and reduce heat flow.
Well-detailed envelopes can reduce cooling loads and support more intentional HVAC equipment sizing.
Dense concrete skins and continuous insulation significantly dampen external traffic, wind and neighborhood noise.
Concrete faces provide noncombustible protection around the core and support tested fire-resistance ratings.
Concrete and steel do not rot like wood studs and are not a food source for subterranean termites.
Eliminates conventional framing cavities where leaks can remain hidden undetected in Florida humidity.
