8. What is the R-value of panels?
A: There are three methods of heat transfer - convection, conduction and radiation. R-value is the measure of
resistance to heat loss by conduction only. The most important factor in thermal efficiency is the continuity of the
insulation. The system results in a solid envelope of rigid foam insulation. Therefore, an
structure has the ability to resist heat transfer by conduction and convection (air movement). It is resonable to
assume that a conventional home would require an R-40 wall and an R-60 roof to compete with a 6 inch
wall (R-24) and an 8 inch roof (R-3 2).
How do you wire an structure ?
A: A patented electrical chase is factory placed in the panels wherever indicated on your custom blue prints. All
chases are marked on the interior sheathing of the panels for easy identification. Electricians use a fish tape and
feed the wires through panel chases without compressing insulation or drilling through studs. also
includes a detailed electrical guide within our construction guide for your electrician. The roof panels are
pre-wired in the factory per your plan. When exterior wall vent pipes are necessary, chases can be formed in the
foam cores.
How do SIPs react to fire?
A: Because of the solid foam core in a SIPs wall, fire cannot run up the wall cavity. The combustion gases of EPS
have been determined to be non-toxic in accordance with the Federal Hazardous Substance Labeling Act. SIPs
have passed every standard fire test required of wood based or type V construction.
A SIP wall with 1/2-in. drywall on the interior will meet mandated 15-minute resistance requirement for residential
structures. A two-layer of type C drywall will meet the requirements for a one-hour-rated wall assembly.
Warranty?
10-years limited warranty on the structure, following “standard Canadian standard” for residential dwelling
(The OSB manufacturer warrants its product for 10 years, thus the limit.), if properly installed.
