Enercept manufactures structural insulated panels (SIPs) for floor, wall, and roof applications in all types of agricultural buildings. Enercept panels are made of a solid core of expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam laminated between two sheets of sheathing. Sheathing type depends upon the building application. Generally, glassboard/oriented strand board (OSB) is used as the interior sheathing and OSB is used as the exterior sheathing in livestock and poultry confinement buildings. Enercept uses a standard 2x stud as a tongue and groove panel connecting member for ag panels. Our EPS is 4.2 R's per inch at 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Enercept manufactures blank panels or custom designed panels. Window, vent, and door openings are cut and framed with dimensional lumber installed at the factory, saving the builder time and reducing job site waste. The durability and ease of construction of Enercept SIPs makes them the building material of choice for the agricultural market.

We now offer clear span widths up to 120' with Enercept SIPs and Ultra Span laminated beams.

The Fight Against Moisture

Enercept understands that moisture control is a main concern in livestock and poultry confinement buildings due to the high humidity within the enclosure. The natural rigidity and density of expanded polystyrene (foam) gives it a much greater ability to resist moisture than fiberglass insulation. Fiberglass insulation acts like a sponge absorbing moisture. The weight of the wet insulation pulls it down to the bottom of the stud cavity leaving large un-insulated gaps in the wall. As little as 1% moisture content reduces fiberglass's R-value by 50%. The wet fiberglass compounds the problem by rotting the surrounding sheathing and studs resulting in declining structural integrity. With the Enercept System, you can take care of your hogs while your barn takes care of itself.
