This is cool but how safe is it to, let's say: Wall Mount a TV" or something like that when you don't have studs, I don't think that white foam in between the strand board will hold heavy weight but I could be wrong.
We are not sure of the cost of a container home, and as with any building project, there are many variables. If you are considering a building project with SIPs, we would encourage you to talk to one of our authorized builders for a complete quote.
That's exactly what I'm trying to find out. My guess it that these days with lumber prices raising due to COVID disruptions and high demand, it might not be much different at all, with all the benefits of using SIP panels over stick framing (in my opinion). I wish someone would compare the exact same floor plan's costs doing it both ways. Everybody always says "it's hard to say because it depends on the details". But if you compared the same floor plan, that would be at least a start. Seems easy, but I haven't found it yet.
@@marlaplunk2833 I was wondering can one make DIY EPS panels. It does not sound or looks difficult but what do I know? Any take on this from anybody? I am thinking of doing DIY garden room with home made EPS
@@csa6119 where there is a will there is a way. When some says to me you can't do it, I say I will do it. 80 yrs on the planet spent for nothing? no way. I will put the project on RU-vid next year under my [real] name ha ha watch this place. old grl got brain going now. I am not in building trade...😺
I watched introductory video again. The panels are erected on concrete block solid foundation so no Ants problem should arise, may be I am wrong. EPS would clarify..
I live on the south Texas coast. Are there hurricane ratings established for these buildings? How about humidity standards since we have humid salty air. Finally, could you put me in contact with a rep? SW of Houston..
EPS serves the U.S. from the Rocky Mountains east to New England and as far south as Texas. We have a network of over 400 builders and would be happy to connect you with one of them.
@peter conway you can email me and I will connect you with a local District Sales Manager to answer your questions. My email is epsmarketing@epsbuildings.com
its full of thermal bridging; all installations or structural elements placed inside the panels will lower insulation locally; mixing structure, instalations and insulation all together is a bad design
@@ictrains9731 this clips shows it clearly; its obvious that when you place a structural/wooden element inside a space that should contain insulation you create a thermal bridge; same happens with electrical, septic and other installations
@@robertbrandywine you make a construction layer with installations and insulate it from the outside; insulate under the slab; insulate over rafters; insulation is continuous and uniform
@@MhUser So, a conventional stud wall with studs every 16" has thermal bridging every 16 inches. These walls have them on each end of the panels, which could span at least 8 feet. I'm not great at math, but the SIP panels seem to have mathematically much more efficiency of thermal bridging than conventional stud walls.
