Structural insulated panels having an inner insulating core and first and second outer facings disposed on opposed surfaces of the insulating core are securely attached to a structural member such as 2X stick structural members in a building structure. A strip of tape is wrapped around the structural member and opposed ends of the tape strip are adhesively bonded to the opposed outer facings of the panel. The tape strip may extend the full height or width of the panel to provide a secure, environmentally sealed connection between the panel and the structural member. An adhesive bonding agent may be inserted between an edge of the panel and the structural member to further increase the strength of the connection between the panel and structural member. The panel's edge may be provided with a C-shaped metal channel for more securely attaching the panel to the structural member by means of nails or screws driven through opposed ends of the tape strip and into the metal channel within the panel. The structural insulated panel is provided with smooth, continuous outer facings for improved bonding between the panel and the tape strip which is preferably a high strength, flexible, self-adhering structural tape. The tape connection arrangement may also be used to connect adjacent panels in an edge-to-edge abutting manner as well as in the installation of a narrow filler structural insulated panel disposed between adjacent 2X dimensional structural members.
