PLASTBAU® Structural Insulated Panel (SIP)
The PLASTBAU® SIP, made of “Flame Retardant type” Expanded PolyStyrene (EPS) with embedded C-shaped zinc-coated steel reinforcing profiles, takes advantage of the structural integration of two materials: EPS and Steel. This alliance allows to use very light insulated panels as structural building elements, able to support heavy loads in the building yards. T
Air barriers or vapor barriers are not required in PLASTBAU® SIP buildings because properly sealed SIPs create a code compliant air barrier with a permeability rating of less than 1.0 perm. A PLASTBAU® SIP building envelope provides high levels of insulation and is extremely airtight, meaning the amount of energy used to heat and cool a home can be cut by up to 50 percent.
Great flexibility of use, fast, insulating and economical
The PLASTBAU ® Structural Insulating Panel is our most versatile product. Its adaptability to every kind of construction extends its field of application to reinforced concrete and dry buildings such as:
- Structural walls
- External Curtain Walls
- Internal Partition Walls
- False Ceilings
- Roofs
- Off Site 2D and 3D structures
- Prefabricated Buildings
Dimensions and thickness can be adapted on the project.
