BENEFITS OF
SIP BUILDING SYSTEM FOR ARCHITECTS
Design Flexibility and Other Benefits of the SIP Building System
Current legislation and new market requirements demand increasing attention when designing and planning buildings. Higher levels of energy efficiency, prevention of thermal bridging, airtightness of the envelope, environmental aspects and many more pose challenges to many traditional building systems.
The most innovative architects have always led the way in designing more energy-efficient buildings
Whether you are an architect, designer of individual houses, structural engineer or designer of large buildings, new market demands and legislation will push you to design more energy efficient and intelligent buildings. ADVANTAGE STRUCTURE and the SIP building system can be your solution for designing net zero energy and passive buildings. Our company cooperates with architects and designers on many projects throughout Quebec. Our extensive experience and practice in fabricating hundreds of buildings will help you find the best way to design a SIP building system for your project.
Design flexibility
The SIP construction system is designed for individual and atypical shapes of buildings. The structure of the panel makes it possible to assemble almost any shape. Panels arrive on site cut to size and are ready for immediate installation according to the installation plan.
No thermal bridges
The panel structure of the building, a much smaller amount of structural timber, and the use of "SIP Spline" connections significantly reduce the amount of thermal bridging in the construction. With the use of a single SIP building system, the architects' nightmare is solved. They no longer have to deal with difficult construction details and combinations of different materials.
Waterproof building envelope
One of the most critical factors for buildings to meet high standards is the tightness of the building envelope. Buildings using the SIP building system achieve the highest scores in the "blower door" airtightness tests conducted. They are designed for modern ventilation systems to achieve greater living comfort.
Variability of use
SIP panels are produced in four basic thicknesses, which guarantees a wide range of uses. We can use them for the construction of perimeter walls, load-bearing and non-load-bearing interior partitions, foundations of buildings and floors, flat and pitched roofs. The SIP building system can be used as a single building system for the whole building, or we can combine it with another building system.
