UnBuild It | Episode 134: Another Double Feature - SIPs vs Stick-Frame & Thermal Degradation of Rigid Insulation

There are a bunch of reasons to consider SIP building systems, BUT switching from stick-framing is not a walk in the park. But UnBuild It has a ton of experience with SIPs. Next up: Just how stable are the R-values of rigid insulations (the plastic ones with blowing agents) over time? The boys spend just the right amount of time on this on...(just could not resist that).
