We often talk about the strength and ductility of the Structural Insulated Panels we use. Great to see the independent BRANZ research on SIPs backing up the international data set as its popularity increases. www.youtube.com/watch?v=amutvxS1NIA

Assessing Performance of Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) in New Zealand.Co-funded by Earthquake Commission - EQCStructural Insulated roof panels were installed in a few hours at our Geraldine job yesterday.
The second truck and trailer of SIPs, and it’s pilot vehicle, almost ready to depart our yards for Nelson. Final checks underway! The team on site headed up early this morning for the prep work whilst a second team here loaded the panels.
Large SIPs roof panels ready to go to our Certified Passive House in Nelson. Most panels are 315mm providing an R-Value of 8.3. The service cavity will also be insulated in this house increasing the R-Value to 10.5! The large panels will require two truck and trailer rigs to transport to Nelson and a couple of days to install.

Hi Lyndon They’re from Formance These are China made but the Christchurch factory is also making panels now
Where are the SIPs from?
The SIPs wall panels were installed yesterday in Geraldine. The exterior walls of the attached garage are traditional timber frame as it is not part of the ‘living’ building envelope which will provide high levels of both air tightness and insulation enabling the owners to better control their indoor living environment and its performance.

Great work weather looks great may have to visit Cheers Karl
6 months living in a PASSIVE HOUSE! You've heard the science, but here's a description of our actual experiences of living in one to date. It does work - hear how in our latest blog! https://www.chattertonbuilders.co.nz/six-months-in-a-passive-house-whats-it-like
MID BUILD - MOUNT PLEASANT. Structural Insulated Panel Construction Energy Efficient Home - Highly insulated, air tight, mechanical heat recovery ventilation and much more. Come and visit this high performing home before the distinctive differences in the design and construction of this type of home is covered up with gib. Talk with our team of experts on hand from 4-7pm Friday 6th November. Register below to attend. https://www.chattertonbuilders.co.nz/upcoming-events
The Brink 'Flair' 325 Mechanical Heat Recovery Ventilation Unit installed at our Richmond Passive House. The unit is housed inside a cupboard in the laundry for easy access to clean the filters, but it is very quiet so no annoying background hum.
This energy efficient SIP's home on the hill has had the uPVC windows installed. The windows have a combination of triple and double glazed Low E argon filled glass. All windows have been recessed into the insulation layer to manage the thermal bridging.
Solar panels have now been installed on our passive house in Rangiora. The differing angles are deliberate to get the most out of winter and summer sun.
3/3 - Bowenvale Ave - SIPS Passive House 🏡
Working closely with the architect and owners during the design stage we together achieved a bright, sunny home that met all the requirements of a passive house. The windows and doors were designed to prevent overheating and the SIPS and uPVC windows provided high levels of insulation and air tightness.
The owners were retiring and looking towards a warm healthy home with minimal running costs, but also a place they could entertain their children and grandchildren. The large open plan living area with timber floor and floating stairwell are two of the many interior features. Outside, window and door louvres break up the light exterior plaster finish.
