Houses made of sip panels: fast, efficient, durable
The construction market does not stand still. There are constantly emerging new trends. One of the last popular destinations is the construction of houses by Canadian technology. This is an economically viable and very suitable scheme for the construction of residential and commercial premises for our climatic conditions. In addition, the construction of houses by Canadian technology takes significantly less time.
How did the houses appear from the sip panels?
In Canada and the United States, such structures have been used for more than half a century. For this time they have perfectly proved themselves in the construction market. This technology has come to our country relatively recently. In Japan, wireframe technology has become the basis for more than 40% of the total housing stock.
Traditional Canadian technology using sip panels develops the idea of three key principles. Such houses should be:
- energy efficient;
- eco-friendly;
- economical.
The advantages of houses made of sip panels
SIP technology has many fans around the world. And this is not surprising, because the sip panels guarantee a huge list of advantages for the owner of the future house:
- fast erection - houses from SIP panels are erected 4-5 times faster in comparison with traditional methods of construction;
- thermal insulation - the thermal insulation material of the panel is identical in characteristics to the two-meter brick wall;
- fire resistance - meets all the highest standards;
- ecological compatibility - in the process of work only high-quality environment-friendly and reliable materials are used;
- long service life - houses made of sip panels can serve your family for about a century;
- resistance to seismic cataclysms - the construction of houses by Canadian technology will allow the construction to withstand an earthquake of up to 9 points;
- the possibility of erecting a house at any time of the year;
- you do not need to wait until the house is seated, you can immediately start doing repairs.
The classic technology of building a house is a long and complex process. In addition, after the completion of construction, you can not immediately go to the finish, because you will need to give the house time to sit on the ground. In the case of Canadian technology, there are no such problems.
Warming of the house and energy efficiency is one of the most important advantages of construction technology. You will save much on heating bills. Canadian technology allows you to build a structure of almost any complexity. Here, nothing restricts the imagination of the builder. And the speed of work and the absence of the need to wait for shrinkage at home allows you to immediately go to the finishing stage after the construction is completed. This is an excellent investment in your future, as the durability of houses made of sip panels is more than 80 years.
Having decided to build such a house, you can forget about additional insulation. The thermal insulation layer is already mounted in the panel, no additional measures are required to increase the energy efficiency of the structure. Good insulation concerns not only the walls but also the floor, the roof. Savings are manifested not only in the reduction of heating bills but also in a significant cut in the total cost of construction. The erection of such houses is much cheaper than those built according to classical technologies from brick or timber. Such a construction will pay off much faster than other varieties.
It is really environmentally friendly and reliable construction with a long time of life. By investing your money in such a construction, you will get a quality and warm home in the shortest possible time.

The pile-screw foundation is erected within 1-2 days at any time of the year, without causing shrinkage. |
The possibility to use a pile-screw foundation. |
It is possible to use a pile-screw foundation, in more frequent cases it is recommended to build a complex foundation |
The foundation is easier than for brick buildings, so it is cheaper, but much more expensive than a pile-screw |
