What People Are Saying About Eco-Panels

“My energy bills average $100 less every month than any of the other homes on my street!”

[EP note: Lynn’s 1,300 sqft home built in 2011 (with Eco-Panels wall panels only!) averages energy bills of $100 less than any other home on the street with similar number of occupants and size (approx 6 of them).]

“Eco-Panels provided my exterior walls and I just love them. The house is “energy tight” and quiet. I am still amazed at how close the fit and precision was. I give you a high recommendation whenever I can.”

“This was the first house in Aiken to use Eco-Panels and the support from the office to the onsite assembly was outstanding. My framing crew was very pleased with how fast and easy the panels went up. My electrician was amazed how well we had laid out the exterior wall electric boxes and conduit to the crawlspace. The drywaller was also pleased with the ease of installing the drywall to the Eco-Panels.”

“The home I built using Eco-Panels wall panels is probably not further away than 300 ft from the train track. You simply can not hear the train when it is going by!”

“I have worked with numerous SIP brands over the years, from other urethane panels to the cheap polystyrene panels that dominate most of the market, and Eco-Panels are by far the best panel built. The quality of the panel joints and cam locks drastically reduce our installation time. I actually bid the installation time of Eco-Panels at half the price of other panels and still come out ahead. The service is unequaled and the design team makes sure that what gets designed gets built. I am so impressed with Eco-Panels that I specify them on every job we do.”

“Today’s builders need every edge they can get, especially with the increasing energy prices, the growing uncertainty of future energy supply and the constant challenges of managing labor costs. A significant edge can be found in delivering a superior thermal and structural envelope quickly and easily with Eco-Panels. With polyurethane foam core, single piece corners and cam-latches for quick and easy assembly, builders can get a home erected, closed in, under roof and on to interior work faster and better than with any conventional framing system.”

“Even as first-time Ecopanels users, our framing crew really picked up some speed and momentum. They received direction and training from Ecopanel’s resource staff on site. I was impressed by the panel’s ease of installation and handling once the crews got the hang of it. You get an instant feel for how the house is going to look and feel when the panels install. We used the 6.5-inch walls and you could tell immediately when they went up that the house was going to be tight and soundly constructed. The Ecopanels systems integrate features and benefits that you could not get anywhere else. The planning you do initially helps you avoid some of the problem solving needed in the field. Compared to stick framing, I can see how having to re-work window openings or header heights could be a thing of the past. Once we reviewed the panel drawings, Ecopanels sent the SIPs to production and it occurred to me that if I built the house again, much of the initial planning is already done for any similar houses in the future. My first house was a fairly complicated plan but we wanted to try something new. When it was necessary to make changes or adapt on the fly, I was pleased to learn that there was the flexibility to make adjustments to panels in the field. There were suitable approaches to troubleshooting which did not undermine the spirit or thermal integrity of the house.”

“As a certified master builder I’ve looked long and hard at the market for years trying to find a better building system. Traditional SIPs just didn’t cut it. But this isn’t your traditional SIP. I’m amazed at the value and performance that Eco-Panels brings to the table. If I had my way I’d never build with anything else again.”

“I would tell anyone that for the money it would be difficult to find anything else that has the versatility, ease of assembly and R rating that Eco-Panels has to offer….”
