SIP

Canadian frame technology
SIP
Structural insulated panel
A solid structure whose special strength is achieved by joining two sheets of wood fibre with insulation laid between them.

Advantages of SIP

    Cost-effectiveness
    One of the most affordable technologies in modern low-rise construction: savings on the foundation; minimal time and labour costs; no waste during assembly.

    All-season construction
    Houses made from SIP panels can be erected all year round thanks to the use of a “lightweight foundation” and the absence of “wet” processes during assembly.

    Thermal efficiency
    Houses made from SIP panels are twice as warm as timber-frame houses with walls of the same thickness.
    No cold bridges thanks to the factory production of SIP panels.
    The “warm corner” technology helps avoid heat loss at panel joints.

    Eco-friendliness
    SIP panels are made from softwood chips, primarily pine and spruce.
    “Food-grade” expanded polystyrene is used as insulation for the structures.
    The houses are safe for everyday living by people and animals.

    Reliability
    A SIP panel with a solid timber frame can withstand a vertical load of up to 10 tonnes.
    With proper assembly and operation, the service life of SIP houses exceeds 80 years.

    Safety
    High fire resistance: SIP panels do not burn through for 90 minutes; the expanded polystyrene insulation is self-extinguishing.
    High seismic resistance class:
    houses made from SIP panels can withstand earthquakes of up to magnitude 9.

    Speed
    High construction speed: assembly of a house kit takes from 5 to 20 days depending on the area of the house, which is 4 times faster than traditional construction methods.

    Geometry
    The perfect geometry of SIP panels simplifies interior finishing.
    The even surface of the external walls creates a variety of façade solutions.
