How to Design with SIP Panels

Follow these few steps to design with SIP panels.
  1. Download and install the Sketchup design application for a free trial
  2. Use the free SIP wall and/or roof models by DurathermSIPs found in the 3d warehouse.
  3. Drag, copy or paste, move and rotate the SIPs to design your building.

Follow these basic guidelines to know how to design with SIP panels.
  • Use the snap function so that the panels touch correctly.
  • With corners the SIPs need to overlay and not butt together.
  • Make the rooms the sizes of multiples of the panel dimensions.
  • Try not to cut the panels. But when you do, have a use for the off-cut.​

Using these design tips you can easily and quickly draw quite complex designs with SIPs.
