Project lead times are reduced up to 50% when building with SIP panels.
BUILDING THE WALLS
- A single wall panel weighs up to 80kg
- Two men can carry one panel
- A team of six men can erect the walls for a 40m2 house in 2 days
- The panels are joined with a male-female interlocking system and are then screwed together
- Once the panels have been erected, a ring beam is fixed over the panels to form an additional locking mechanism
INSTALLING THE ROOF
- The lightweight steel roof trusses can be flat packed and assembled on site
- The roof trusses are erected and fixed to the ring-beam
- Trusses are designed for either concrete roof tiles or sheeting
INTERNAL FINISHING
- Ceiling boards are fixed to ceiling brandering
- Internal panels are jointed and then skim plastered
- Wiring for electrics are drawn through conduits
- Finishes completed as per customer’s specification
JOINTING & PLASTERING
- An expandable waterproof compound is used to close the joints
- An alkaline-resistant fiberglass mesh is fixed to the board and a polymer based plaster is then applied to the mesh
- The plaster is then painted once it has dried
- The house looks and feels like a conventionally plastered house, but has all the benefits of a thermally insulated, modular building system
