RAYCORE SIP Panels are non-directional thus when a cut for an opening is made, you may flip the panel around and use it on an adjacent wall or portion of roof. The panels will be cut-to-fit onsite, reducing waste and substantially saving in cost. You pay only for the panel you receive and not the cutout material that is thrown away at the factory, saving you maybe up to 40 percent the cost.
