Insulated Concrete Forms(or ICFs) are forms or molds that have built-in insulation for accepting reinforced concrete. Insulated Concrete Forms “ICF’s” House Design Other savings are realized because less expensive heating and cooling systems are required with SIP construction. Building your house with SIPs will save you time, money and labor.īuilding with SIPs generally costs about the same as building with wood frame construction, when you factor in the labour savings resulting from shorter construction time and less job-site waste. The result is a building system that is extremely strong, energy efficient and cost effective. SIPs are manufactured under factory controlled conditions and can be custom designed for each home.

Other skin material can be used for specific purposes. The panels are typically made by sandwiching a core expanded polystyrene insulation (EPS) between two structural skins of oriented strand board (OSB). Structural insulated panels (SIPs) are high performance building panels used in floors, walls, and roofs for all types of residential and light commercial buildings. Structural Insulated Panels “SIP’s” House Design ICF design in particular may sometimes require structual engineering. Better thermal and acoustic environmentsĪt Rijus Home Design, we’ve design countless house plans to be built using traditional wood framing techniques, but we also can design any style of home to be built using ICF block or SIPS panels.Here are some quick facts about building green: More and more breakthroughs in building technology, new ways of building homes, are quickly being made available to home builders, house designers and new home owners who want to build in a way that respects our earth. The building industry has a large impact on our economy, productivity – but even more our natural environment and health.
