What are structural insulation panels?

Structural insulation panel (SIP) is a building material that consists of two outer skins enclosing a core of insulating material. The most common outer facing skins used are plywood or oriented strand board (OSB). OSB is commonly used as a facing material, as it is available in large sizes varying from 12 feet to 36 feet.
