Speaking with some people that are looking to build with traditional steel-skinned SIP’s, one comment that has come up numerous times is that they don’t want to feel like they are living in a fridge! Most definitely a fair and valid point as steel-skinned SIP’s are typically manufactured in New Zealand for the purpose of making permanent or truck/trailer cool rooms. Many low-cost manufacturers only offer titania white or titania white and in a smooth or smooth finish. Yes, you can etch prime and paint the panels to any color your choose, but for some, the smooth finish still isn’t enough to make it look like an architectural building material. Some companies can offer other colours and finishes, but with minimum order quantities and at a premium.
ALSIPS are not only 1/3 of the weight of steel-skinned, but they come in three different colours and four different texture finishes as shown below. Even better…you can mix and match colours and textures on both inside and outside for no extra cost!
