Introduction

Premier Building System’s SIPs Installation Guide has been divided into convenient sections covering most aspects of PBS SIPs installation. Designed for carpenters, framers, contractors and do-it-yourselfers, the instructions and detailed illustrations will give you the basics of building with PBS SIPs at just a glance.

Premier’s SIPs installation techniques are based on Premier Building Systems’ continuing program of independent, third-party testing and more than 30 years of fabrication, installation, and innovation.

If you have questions about anything covered in this installation guide, please call us and ask to speak with a technical representative. A listing of Premier’s office phone numbers appears in the back of this guide.
