Nowadays there is increasing demand for construction of small (cottage type) houses all over the world. Here, the main concern of contractors is a timeline. Traditional technologies do not allow decreasing of construction period. "ECOPAN" offers equipment and technology for production of individual houses faster, with higher quality and lower cost.
Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) is a core of this technology. SIPs meet all technical requirements for basic components of the building: walls, roof, floors and foundation. SIPs are high-performance building panels made using expanded polystyrene (EPS), rigid foam insulation sandwiched between two structural skins of oriented strand board (OSB). The result is a building system that is very strong, predictable, energy efficient, and cost effective.
EPS (polystyrene) is a lightweight cellular plastics material consisting of small spherical shaped particles containing about 98% air. This microcellular closed cell construction provides EPS with excellent insulating and shock absorbing characteristics.
OSB - Oriented strand board, or waferboard, or Sterling board (UK), is an engineered wood product formed by layering strands (flakes) of wood in specific orientations. In appearance it may have a rough and variegated surface with the individual strips (around 2.5 by 15 cm each) lying unevenly across each other.
