USING THE SIP BUILD SYSTEM

Structure Advantage's SIP building system can meet a wide range of needs and its use is almost limitless. Its versatility and variability can solve even the most difficult shapes. It is therefore ideal for dealing with the atypical shapes of the building, where it also ensures the absence of thermal bridges. The SIP building system can be implemented as a single building system for the entire building envelope, or it can be combined with other building systems.

With the SIP construction system, we can solve building foundations, exterior perimeter walls, interior partitions, ceilings, flat and even sloping roofs. We can use it in the construction of houses, apartment buildings, administrative buildings, industrial buildings, schools and kindergartens, leisure facilities, chalets and houseboats. The SIP construction system is an ideal solution for superstructures and extensions.

CONSTRUCTION PROCESS

BUILDING FOUNDATIONS

SIP panel is a lightweight construction material and there are more foundation construction possibilities. The most commonly used method in our latitudes is the concrete slab foundation. Even during its construction, it saves the material because it will not need to bear such a heavy load as in brick or concrete constructions.

The SIP construction system makes it possible to make the foundation of the building also from panels. An alternative and unique solution for construction are foundations on screw piles. The construction of the foundation slab on screw piles for a detached house takes 2-3 days and does not entail any devastation of the land. A load-bearing structure made of wood or steel beams, on which 210 mm SIP panels are placed, is mounted on drilled screw piles.

The unique application of the SIP construction system is in the case of houseboats. Panels placed on the pontoon allow quick and efficient foundations of the building.

CONSTRUCTION OF PERIMETER WALLS AND INTERIOR PARTITIONS

A layer of waterproofing is applied to the fabricated foundation plate. After its application, the foundation springs are anchored to the foundation plate and form the basis of the building system. A recessed KVH element is mounted on the foundation spring to install the panels.

The construction of the perimeter walls starts from the corner of the building and continues around the perimeter. After their completion follows the installation of internal partitions. Finally, wooden KVH elements are inserted into the mounting grooves from above to support the panels with each other. The panels can contain a pre-prepared tunnel for wiring. All panels are marked and custom made according to the project documentation, so the installation of the panels is very simple, fast and precise.

FLOOR CONSTRUCTION

Between the surrounding walls and the interior partitions, we make a ceiling structure for the construction of the floor. To create a ceiling structure, we have several solutions. The ceiling can consist of KVH, BSH ceiling elements, glulam I-beams, SIP panels or CLT. The suitability of the materials used depends on the static assessment of the project architect and the requirements of the clients. On the floor thus constructed, we begin to build the perimeter walls and the internal partitions of the second floor.

ROOF CONSTRUCTION

SIP panels are an effective solution for the construction of pitched roofs with a residential attic. The SIP building system essentially creates both a structural and insulating element of the roof. The attic is therefore directly insulated with SIP panels and no additional application of insulating materials is necessary. The joints are straight and precise, so that the interior has a definitive base for the installation of plasterboard or fibrous plasterboard, which is applied directly to the panel.

The SIP panel is also an ideal solution for flat roofs. As with pitched roofs and flat roofs, the panel is both a structural and insulating element of the roof. Its installation and application is very fast and saves a lot of extra work. From the inside, it is possible to install plasterboard or fibrous plasterboard directly on the panel. From the outside, EPS perimeter drains for water drainage and final waterproofing are applied.
