Timber Frames -- Panel Enclosure
Strength and energy efficiency through structural panel
construction Since their introduction more than fifty
years ago, SIPs have been used in thousands of homes and light
commercial buildings. It is our opinion that you can not find a
better enclosure for your timber frame home. Talk to a few of
our home owners and I think you will find a true testament to
their benefits.
|
|
|
| Panels are pre-cut and applied to
your timber frame after the raising. |
|
| The crane is used to lower each
panel into its proper place. |
|
| Panel by panel, your enclosure is
secured to your timber frame. |
|
|
The insulation values for
panels are far superior to conventional framing and
insulating methods. The insulation core is polyurethane, 2.2
lb. density closed cell foam. Outer and inner skins are 7/16"
Oriented Strand Board (OSB).
Minimum R-Values are as
follows:
- Walls - R-24, R-28
- Roof - R-40
|
| SIPs also have superior transverse and
axial-loading capabilities with increased racking resistance
over conventional framing enclosures. Foam fire rating is
Class 1. No formaldahyde or CFC's are contained in this
product. |
|
|
|
| A SIPs enclosure can be installed
much faster than a conventional shell. |
|
| Molded-in electrical boxes with
conduit. |
|
| Ready for your electrical
connections. |
|
|
|
|
| 8' x 24' panel size provides for
fewer thermal breaks. |
|
| Pre-cut window and doorway shapes
ensure no onsite waste. |
|
| After the wall panels have been
installed, the roofing panels are carried into place and
secured. |
|
Reading articles and viewing photos of recent
natural disasters will only reinforce a positive view of SIPs.
- 1993 earthquake in Kobe Japan, SIP houses left
undamaged amid other destruction.
- 1998 a tornado rolls through conventionally-framed
houses in an Atlanta suburb, but causing only superficial
damage to a SIPs home in the middle of the destruction.
"Susan and I are in the planning stage of a new
timber frame home for ourselves. We will incorporate Structural
Insulated Panels with our timber frame."
