Modern technology of construction of frame houses

A Canadian house means a building built using Canadian technology, which is also called SIP technology. It is based on the principles of frame-panel low-rise construction. The basic building element of a house using Canadian technology is a SIP structural insulation panel. It consists of three layers. The outer and inner ones are made of moisture-resistant OSP-3 plates with a minimum thickness of 12 mm, and the middle one is made of polystyrene foam with a thickness of 140 mm. OSB provides rigidity and mechanical strength of the structure. Styrofoam performs the role of heat and sound insulation. The layers are glued together with polyurethane glue under the pressure of a press of up to 18 tons. This production technology guarantees the strength and durability of the SIP panel.
The main advantages of Canadian house construction technology
The advantages of the frames are determined by the construction technology and the characteristics of SIP panels.
Mechanical strength
External load-bearing walls, interior partitions and inter-floor ceilings form a strong and reliable structure with high seismic resistance. Canadian frame houses are not afraid of earthquakes, and the external OSP layer of the walls guarantees good protection against mechanical influences.
Environmental friendliness
Ecologically safe materials are used for construction: natural wood, OSP from wood chips, expanded polystyrene and polyurethane glue.
Thermal insulation characteristics
The house according to Canadian technology is very warm. Due to the low thermal conductivity of SIP panels, rooms warm up quickly and cool down very slowly. You can save up to 80% on heating.
High construction speed
A fully ready-to-live-in house with connected communications, external and internal finishing is built using Canadian technology in 3 months. If you order a custom design rather than a standard design, it takes about another month to design.
Durability
The service life of a house built using frame technology is 50-80 years. During this time, the building does not require major repairs.
Accessibility
Canadian houses are inexpensive, thanks to the low price of SIP panels. In addition, due to the light weight of the panels, there is no need to involve heavy machinery for their installation using Canadian technology.
