Lifting Panels : Building with Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs)
Переглядів 675Рік тому
For most applications, SIPs usually uses cranes, forklits and hand-bot equipments. Whatever way you do it, the reality is that moving SIPs around the job site efficiently and safely is crucial to a successful install. A four-wheel-drive forklift will go a long way on most job sites. But an important thing to remember is that if the lift is undersized, it’s less versatile during staging and prea...
History of SIPs: Building with Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs)
Переглядів 251Рік тому
The history of SIPs (structural insulated panels) originates with a series of test homes constructed at the Forest Products Laboratory in Madison, Wisconsin during the 1930's. Researchers were looking at ways to use wood products more efficiently by designing a panelized wall system where the plywood sheathing carried a portion of the axial load.

The sound resistance of a SIP wall depends on the thickness of the gypsum drywall applied, the exterior finish applied, and the thickness of the insulating foam core that is used. SIPs are especially effective at blocking high frequency noise, and most homeowners notice the quiet comfort of a SIP home. However, low frequency sounds are not as effectively stopped by a SIP building envelope. For ...

What are SIPs?: Building with Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs)
Переглядів 720Рік тому
Structural insulated panels (SIPs) are high-performance building panels used in floors, walls, and roofs for residential and light commercial buildings. The panels are made by sandwiching a core of rigid foam plastic insulation between two structural facings, such as oriented strand board (OSB). Other skin materials can be used for specific purposes. SIPs are manufactured under factory controll...

    • @docmitchell1
      @docmitchell1 День тому

      The panels come in different thicknesses so their strength is proportional to the thickness. 12 1/4" being the strongest and 4 1/2" being the least. You can get them into the 200+ mph range but you need to have an engineer (who knows what they are doing) help you come up with a strategy to accomplish it. I would not be surprised if the thinnest SIPs will get you north of 140 mph but it is relative to the 3 dimensional design/shape of the building as well. A word to the wise, there is a level to a structure being able to handle high wind speeds but heavy debris being thrown into the structure (like a truck, or a train, or the neighbors house) will destroy it. This is true of all styles and materials for construction.

    A commercial building requires a PE size HVAC and stamp the design. Residential just requires Bubba to size it and Bubba generally works for the HVAC company. That is truly the fox watching the hen house. If our country wants to go green, then make the PE responsible for sizing HVAC independent of the HVAC contractor.

    • @tmckenzie777
      @tmckenzie777 8 місяців тому

      Random reply from a contractor PM...if you haven't gotten the answer already, the answer would depend on the support requirements based on the weight of the object(s)--typically SIPs have a 7/8" OSB sheathing on both sides, which is actually pretty strong itself, and will support most anything with an appropriate distribution of wood-rated fasteners (screws). Larger items would (should) need additional solid wood framing/backing or fur studs to provide dedicated mounting positions. When in doubt, add more solids!

    • @chrisgeary4624
      @chrisgeary4624 8 місяців тому

      @@tmckenzie777 Thanks, that makes sense. Just used to always having to find at least one stud to hold up anything even sort of heavy. It looks like they often fly even really large sips panels into place with just a plate and maybe half a dozen screws, so i guess OSB is stronger than I thought.

    Hi, thank you so much for the videos! They are very helpful. There's one question I'd like to ask here.. I'm planning to build a 2-story house and when considering whether to go for SIP wall panels, is it okay if there are additional interior walls on the second floor (i.e. walls which there would be nothing below them on the first floor)? Would that be structurally feasible for SIP constructions? Thank you in advance for your answer!

    Thank you so much for the excellent presentation! Your section about moisture management principles in SIP panels (let it dry out towards the side of the panel where it got wet) made me think about my planned application. We have planned a low slope roof angle (2/12) over 7/16 OSB SIP and -- hopefully low-cost -- corrugated metal panels on the top. The home will be built in Twentynine Palms, that is climate-wise very similar to Phoenix that you have mentioned as an example. My question is if you would recommend some kind of membrane that would allow vapor penetration in case the OSB is getting wet (we had some heavy rains last month as an example)? There is always the question if some lingering splash water would penetrate the permeable membrane long term (maybe over several hours). Would it not be more advisable to use a watertight sealing (like Polyglass XFR) or just felt #30 not to allow water in in the first place?

    Actually, with the issues we are having in recruiting any workforce, I think it would be easier to train a newby to work with SIPs, than teach them to frame. I can see lots of issues with most of the framers I have worked with learning to do SIPs well. And, less problems if I take someone who started with SIPs, and turning them into a framer.

    Hi I'm based in the UK and need some advice, I have used a manufacturing company that had erected my sip man cave, roughly 6.7m (w) x 4.88m(d) and 2.5m high they used an eps system with 122mm panels, the flat roof uses 600 x 2400 panels however the company has joined these two panels with a 2x4 c16 timber, to span 4.88m for the roof the roof also has an openings for a 70kg skylight, I am worried once I put the skylight in the roof might not hold the skylight, as the max span of a 4x2 with a point load of 70kg is roughly 1.7m, can you advice please

    • @andrewcook1258
      @andrewcook1258 Рік тому

      How did you get on with your build? Remember that the splines joining the panels are glue and screwed to form a composite structure much stronger than just the splines themselves. If you were talking about a joisted roof using 4"x2" joists then you would be correct, they would not be sufficiently strong but a SIPs roof is different! Happy to talk it over.

    • @SIPAvideo

      The foam is not degraded by water. However, wood should be protected from the elements for long term exposure to weather as recommended by the OSB manufacturers. Wood can be temporarily exposed for shorter durations to the elements, but it will expand a bit when absorbing water and make the connections tight to fit together due to swelling. The OSB returns to its regular dimensions when it dries. This is simply a best practice when dealing with wood.

    • @darrylchase3688
      @darrylchase3688 Рік тому

      OSB and water don't mix. If you can find a SIP manufacturer who uses CDX plywood, that would be best. Also, installation of SIPS may require a mallet/sledge, and OSB edges don't respond well to the impact. Once installed and protected from direct contact with water, it would be ok.

      The structural strength is not impacted when small holes are made for electrical connections. Each manufacture includes a standard amount of such holes (within reason) for the load capacity safety factor. Each manufacturer of SIPs should be consulted for their best recommended practices.

    Hello Scan 86 - just to reply to your comment below, PVC and expandable polystyrene polymers are compatible and there is not concern for and reaction between the electrical wiring insulation and the EPS foam as you mentioned below. PVC is very resistant to attack which is why it is used to insulate electrical wiring. EPS foams are not corrosive, this is why they are used for food packaging and insulated cups safe for human contact.
