Seal panel to be installed. Because SIPs are meant to be energy efficient it is particularly important to continuously seal all adjoining surfaces (see “Sealing” photo). The spline details in the SIP Details illustration later in this chapter show the locations of the seal.

Set panel in place. Tip the panel into place hinging on the far corner of the bottom of the wall (see “Installing SIP Panel” photo).

Plumb and brace panel. After the panel is standing check for proper placement, plumb both directions, and then nail in place and brace if needed. Sledge hammers, crow bars, long bar clamps, and come-alongs can be used to pull the panels together when needed. Allow a 1/8" space between panel faces.

Nail and screw panel. Panel screws come with the panels and you need to follow the manufacturer's suggested location for their installation. Also follow the manufacturer's instructions for size and spacing of the nailing. You will be using your standard framing nails. See the SIP Details illustration later in this chapter.
