SIPs
Neskonlith Band has been looking for alternative ways of constructing homes that would be Eco-Friendly, mould free, and energy efficient and most of all attractive and affordable for everyone. Here are some of the features that will explain why we have selected this alternative way of constructing our future homes.
Key Advantages:
 |
-
Faster construction, superior workmanship
Neskonlith Eco-Homes panels eliminate the need for framing, insulating and applying vapour barrier. Builders agree that panels dramatically improve on site construction quality and workmanship. Framing crews and insulation crews are no longer required. A single trade that can be trained in a matter of days can complete the entire building envelope with fewer tools. Shorter construction time brings financial benefits as well as reduced chance of material loss from the job site.
-
Superior strength characteristics
Neskonlith Eco-Homes are structurally stronger and straighter than a conventional stud frame structure. The EPS core provides rigidity and the OSB board, outer skin provides tremendous tensile and compressive strength. The result is strong, plumb, level, and impact resistant.
-
Fire resistant: Does not combust
|
- Panels are non-combustable fire resistant sheathing material.
- Has zero flame spread and zero smoke contribution.
- Provides class A thermal barrier.
- Can contain fire in a room or unit.
|
-
Significant heating and cooling cost savings
Continuous EPS insulation creates a true R value that performs as consistently in laboratory conditions as it performs in real life conditions. Other walls can exhibit more than a 50% loss in R value performance due to settling insulation, pinching, and degradation. Up to a 40% smaller HVAC system can be utilized.
-
Protect from mould growth and insect infestation
Neskonlith Eco-Homes panels will not rot, mould or deteriorate. They are an effective rain screen. This prevents the "sick condo" or "sick building" problem of mould damage and the associated health hazards. Neskonlith Eco-Homes panels have no nutrients to feed mould or insects.
-
Environmentally responsible
Long term savings on energy consumption combined with a dramatic decrease in jobsite framing lumber waste, and the inert, no nutritive, highly stable, no poisonous nature of our panels make then an environmentally responsible choice. Energy efficiency reduces greenhouse gas emissions that can contribute to climate change.
-
Excellent for winter construction
|
- No cribbing, curing, hoarding required for basement walls.
- Panels install quickly.
- Fast to lock-up stage.
- Inexpensive to heat while finishing.
