Advantages of SIP
SIP panels have been used for over 80 years. They offer durability, improved energy efficiency and excellent durability. With a wood wool core, they are the most environmentally friendly option because they are made from renewable materials, which reduces your carbon footprint.
Application? Mainly residential, commercial and industrial.
Lightness
The small thickness and, consequently, the weight of the boards allow for smaller depth and size of foundations, thickness of ceiling beams, rafters and columns, and length of fastenings. This translates into a lighter building structure. Light – ideal for locations in city centers with access restrictions
Energy saving
A house made of sandwich panels is characterized by a very high insulation index, which translates into easy maintenance of the optimal temperature inside the building. Residents of a prefabricated house can easily control the humidity and temperature of the air flowing into their house. This leads to reduced thermal energy consumption in winter and better natural air conditioning in summer.
price
The cost of a project using SIP is as much as 30% less than that of a timber frame structure. The way construction is done with SIPs means that construction costs and materials need to be estimated in advance, which is a great way to avoid unforeseen expenses.
ease of assembly
Easier installation – with less drilling and the need to use a crane on site
Thermal insulation
All SIP panels are distinguished by very good insulating properties. The best parameters in this respect are achieved by boards filled with polyurethane foam. Boards with a polystyrene core have a slightly higher heat transfer coefficient. Houses made of SIP panels are very warm in winter and cool in summer.
fire resistance
It is worth knowing that the properties of SIP panels facilitate precise control of the temperature and humidity of the air supplied for ventilation and air conditioning, and at the same time reduce the energy consumption necessary for heating or cooling rooms. An additional advantage is the lack of need to install additional vapor barrier under ceilings and walls.
speed of assembly
A good, professional and experienced construction team can build a house from SIP panels according to a standard design within 3 months.
stable structure
External walls and entire structures made of SIP panels are a durable and stable monolith. Walls made of this material can withstand vertical loads of up to 10 tons.
environmentally friendly
The technology used to produce SIP panel boards is based on high-quality, safe natural and polymer materials. When installing panels during the construction of a house, a large amount of garbage and construction waste is not generated.
resistant to weather conditions
SIP panels are characterized by high resistance to frost and high temperatures up to 230 C. They are also resistant to moisture and effectively protect against wind and are characterized by high fire resistance.
excellent sound insulation
Sandwich panels forming modular buildings are usually filled with polyurethane foam, thanks to which they can absorb sound vibrations even above 70 decibels.
resistant to biodegradation
It does not degrade or deteriorate over time.
possibility of any finishing
A house made of OSB boards can be finished in the same way as a house made of traditional materials. Basically, finishing the house from the outside and inside is no different compared to brick houses.
resistant to chemicals
The panels cope perfectly with acids, bases and organic solvents. Thanks to the limited amount of wet ingredients used when creating a prefabricated house, the building is better protected against the appearance of fungi, mold and other microorganisms.
load capacity
SIP panels are characterized by high bending strength, which allows them to be used to create roofs and external load-bearing walls. The load-bearing capacity is on average 8kN/m².
- SIP is 7 times stronger than wood frame and 3 times stronger than brick and block
tightness
The materials used do not absorb moisture and do not lose these properties over time, and the tightness is additionally supported by the installation of low-pressure foam. The result is a high level of resistance to steam and air.
small thickness
The finished structure is much thinner than a wall insulated with mineral wool or polystyrene with similar thermal transmittance. Limiting the thickness of partitions allows you to gain additional living space or space on the plot and create higher rooms in attics.
creativity
SIPs can be designed and manufactured to fit any building design, providing architects and owners with the flexibility and creative freedom to create aesthetically pleasing spaces.
cleanliness of construction
For the 90%, less waste on site. SIP panels are prefabricated off-site and then delivered to the construction site where they can be quickly assembled.
precision
SIPs are fully designed and manufactured in a controlled factory environment, ensuring precise measurements and tolerances. This ensures that the final product that arrives on site is accurate and error-free.
- All structures are made exactly according to your requirements - so your project goes exactly as planned
