What You Need To Know About SIPS Construction

By Lisa Long


Generally, in building industry there are very many materials that are used to put up a structure. Stone and soil bricks are some of the materials, timber and wood, metals, iron sheets and others like tent among other materials. Structural insulated panels have in recent days become very popular due to the less work required as well as durability. It is made from to materials sandwiched together to form a rigid composite. Therefore, if you are thinking about an easy and durable construction, SIPS Construction is all what you need to look for.

The composition of this material is that a certain type of foam like polystyrene, polyisocyanurate, polyurethane are used where they are covered on both sides by either plywood, cement, metal sheets, strand boards among other coverings. This makes them to contain I-beam characteristic as well as I-column properties. The frames perform the web function and the sheathing the flanges.

The many activities get performed by these made materials apart from only building the structures. They can use in are areas of building like in making studs, vapor and air blocking and control, insulation and other different functions. They can also be used to put alongside roofs, walls, foundations, and floors where they can have various functions like thermal regulation.

There is information to guide or explain to you on how to use these materials efficiently and more without making any a wanting losses. One of the tips is that as you plan the actual construction process, it is imperative you Pre-plan about electrical to use and other systems like plumbing. These are because they are not like stones or bricks that you can decide to demolish a small part and construct it back or do plaster on it or cover with concrete.

Another tip is that when organizing the panels make sure they are kept in the correct weather, storage, and handling conditions. They should be stored in areas with the distance the floor surface of about a feet. During installation, it should be done in the correct sequence leaving the stipulated spaces and proper sealing so that they attain maximum tightness. They should also be protected from water penetration. If this is allowed, they start deteriorating gradually.

When these panels are used, free air circulation is not allowed. It is only allowed when ventilations are provided. These panels are also prone to damage from excess heat. This means when planning to install an HVAC machine or system space, area and ventilation should be seriously considered. Where there is no enough air, the machine can short cycle leading to failure. Also, emissions can be poisonous to people and animals.

There are other factors to consider like the size of the actual structure, the required wall type, building orientation, window, door and other specs and their positioning as well as the amount of air circulation. If this is done the benefits accruing these materials are many. One of the benefits is that the walls will have an insulating property. They also have a very good looking appearance and aesthetics.

However, there are certain limitations to the use of these materials. One of them is that their life cycle is lower than that of bricks and concrete. They cannot be used to make storage materials and places. They are adversely affected in case of fire when they completely burn to ashes.
