How to build a house from SIP panels? We are adopting Canadian technology. How to build a house from sip panels yourself Do-it-yourself construction of houses from sip panels

Structural insulating panels (SIP) are used for the construction of frame low-rise residential, public and domestic buildings. Residential 2-storey cottages with attics, garages, dachas, warehouses, cafes, small shops and office buildings. For some reason such technologies in Russia are called Canadian, although they have nothing to do with this country. The author of the idea is American engineer Frank Lloyd Wright, who developed the design of a composite panel with honeycomb fillers in the 30s of the 20th century. Lightweight and cheap structures immediately attracted the attention of enterprising American manufacturers of building materials, who began their mass production.

What are SIP panels for building a house?

After constant improvements, an optimal design was created, which is most widespread in Russia, America and Europe. This is a kind of sandwich of 2 OSB-3 (oriented strand boards) with PSB-25 insulation glued between them (a plate of suspension pressless self-extinguishing polystyrene foam).

Plates can be made from various materials: steel, aluminum, asbestos cement. But the term SIP implies the use of external cladding panels made from sheets of wood products in the production of SIP:

• oriented strand board made from large-sized shavings (most often pine) bonded together under high temperatures and pressure with waterproof resins. The arrangement of chips in the outer layers is longitudinal, and in the inner layers it is transverse. The number of layers is 3, less often - 4. OSB 3 is manufactured for use in conditions high humidity under high mechanical loads, therefore more expensive than other varieties;
• fiberboards containing wood fibers and Portland cement M500 in a ratio of 60 to 40;
• moisture-resistant plywood;
• gypsum fiber sheets;
• drywall.

The following materials are used as insulation in the manufacture of SIP panels:

• expanded polystyrene foam;
• polyurethane foam;
• basalt mineral wool;
• fiberglass.

Merging into monolithic construct carried out using cold gluing with polyurethane adhesives using a press that creates pressure up to 18 tons.

Reliable waterproofing is ensured by waterproof treatment of sheets in the factory.

After gluing, the products are placed on special tables, where they are cut to the required dimensions. Then, along the perimeter of the part, grooves are selected for laying connecting bars or boards. The distances from the edges of the OSB are taken from 25 to 100 mm, depending on the cross-section of the elements that will be placed in the grooves to fix the structure during the construction of the building.

SIP panel sizes

The dimensions of the products are determined by their purpose - for walls, ceilings, floors, roofs. The designs used for the device are considered basic vertical structures buildings.

Standard products are available in the following sizes in mm:

• length - 2500...2800;
• width - 625...1250;
• thickness - 124, 174 and 224.

Main advantages and existing disadvantages

Any construction technology has its own disadvantages and advantages. Buildings constructed using SIP are characterized by the following advantages:

1. Durability ≥ 60 years, due to the strength of the material with long-term geometric stability.
2. Mechanical strength, withstands well longitudinal loads up to 10 tons per m2 and transverse up to 2 tons.
3. High seismic resistance, tested in laboratory conditions for earthquakes of destructive force.
4. Light weight, average sq. m weighs 15…20 kg. Therefore, there is no need to build expensive, powerful foundations. They are easy to transport and unload.
5. Installation of SIP panels is characterized by ease of work that does not require special equipment, heavy lifting equipment and high qualifications of the performer.
6. The houses practically do not shrink, which makes it possible to complete finishing immediately after completion of installation work.
7. Environmental friendliness and safety of buildings for human health. Formaldehyde resins, which are part of the adhesive components, emit harmful volatile compounds in small quantities. But their concentration is not dangerous, which is confirmed by relevant sanitary standards(sanitary safety corresponds to class E1).
8. Good heat and sound insulation properties.
9. Resistance to aggressive external influences, including biological (fungus or mold damage).
10. High factory readiness and ease of assembly with the absence of wet processes allow you to build a house from SIP panels at any time of the year, regardless of weather conditions, in the shortest possible time.
11. Fire resistance ensured by high-quality treatment with fire retardants in the factory. Foamed polystyrene foam is a self-extinguishing material, so the spread of fire to nearby structures does not occur even in open fire conditions.
12. Affordable price.

Available disadvantages:

• the need for an efficient supply and exhaust system ventilation system to remove condensation from the junction of the frame and the slabs;
• common to all frame structures low thermal inertia load-bearing structures fencing.

You can often come across an opinion about the danger of small rodents entering the house. This is based on the existing attractiveness of foam plastics for rodents to build their burrows in. But we must take into account that the insulation is reliably protected on all sides by OSB sheets, and the interpanel seams are covered with antiseptic boards or bars.

There is also an opinion about environmental hazards and flammability. One can only agree with this when purchasing low-quality counterfeit products. Therefore, you should buy products only from trusted manufacturers who have earned authority in the building materials market, and with mandatory quality certificates. It is recommended to order products directly from factories or dealers with a good reputation. Stable high quality The products of the Egger and Glunz concerns differ. You can also note the quality of products from the following companies:

• house-building plant "Bauen House";
• construction company "EcoEuroDom";
• Hotwell panel house plant;
• enterprises "Building Together";
• company "SIP Atelier".

Building a house from SIP panels with your own hands

Composition and sequence of operations:

1. Construction of the foundation. Most often, pile-grillage, columnar-tape, slab or shallow strip structures are chosen. The work is carried out using traditional methods.
2. Construction of the lower trim and floor. On top of the foundation structure horizontal waterproofing from 2 layers of waterproofing glued using bitumen-containing mastics. The timber is laid along the perimeter of the building under future walls and load-bearing partitions. Fastening to the foundation is carried out with anchor bolts into holes pre-drilled in the tree, two anchors are placed in the corners, intermediate ones - in increments of 1.5...2 m. dense wood. The strapping will also be the basis for the location of the floor joists, on which a regular wooden floor is laid. Laying guide boards on the beam, the cross-section is selected depending on the size of the panels. The boards are fastened at intervals of about 40 cm with self-tapping screws.
3. Assembly of SIP panels. Installation begins at the installation in the first corner of the 2 panels. It is important that an even vertical angle is ensured; the evenness of the laying of all other elements will directly depend on this. Before installation on the guide board, the lower grooves are foamed, fastening to the board is done with self-tapping screws in increments of 15 cm. The joint of wall products is made “tongue-and-groove” on racks made of timber, factory-made from kiln-dried lumber. Before connecting the panels to each other, the vertical grooves are also foamed, fixed with self-tapping screws every 50 cm. The vertical installation of the parts is controlled by the building level. All other panels are installed in the same way.
4. Installation of the top strapping beam. Foaming the upper grooves and fixing the trim with self-tapping screws.
5. Cutting window openings, the operation can be done in advance, which will be more convenient. The holes made are reinforced along the contour with bars.
6. Installation of floor beams with laying of sip panels.
7. Roof installation. If a regular rafter roof is being constructed from sip panels, then the grooves will serve as support for the rafters. Fastening the sheathing to the rafters and laying the roofing material. If necessary, the attic is insulated.
8. Wiring engineering communications.
9. Finishing work. The evenness of the walls greatly simplifies finishing, and sip slabs securely hold any fastening of finishing materials (lining, siding, blockhouse, plasterboard, porcelain tiles, wallpaper or natural stone).

The cost of factory-made SIP from high-quality raw materials is high, for example, a 224 mm thick panel measuring 2.5 by 1.25 m from 12 mm OSB costs ≥ 3,500 rubles. The production technology is not complicated, so you can make sip panels with your own hands at home. To carry out the work you will need a small enclosed space (a garage for passenger car, barn or utility room).

Selection and purchase of necessary materials

The following materials will be required:

1. 12 mm OSB-3 sheets. Each product will require two sheets. It is important to have a hygienic certificate indicating the formaldehyde emission class E1.
2. Quality polystyrene foam boards PSB-S-25 (35) in dimensions according to the dimensions of SIP with a thickness for external wall panels of 15...20 cm.
3. Non-toxic one-component polyurethane adhesive, approximately 0.2 kg per square meter required. m of surface. The glue must be environmentally friendly, without releasing harmful components during polymerization, and be able to withstand temperature changes possible in your climate zone. The characteristics of the adhesive and the conditions for its use are indicated on the packaging; you can consult with a sales consultant, explaining to him what the adhesive composition will be used for. TOP-UR 15 have proven themselves well; Macroplast UR 7229, Kleiberit 502.8.
4. Fire retardants and antiseptics for additional processing finished panels.

You cannot save on purchasing cheap materials, as this will directly affect the durability and quality of the finished products.

Equipment and tools

Bonding SIP must be carried out under pressure, in industrial conditions this value is 18 tons. You can make a simple press yourself.

Scope of work:

• production of a durable base from rolled profiles or profile pipes a size slightly larger than the dimensions of the panels;
• fastening vertical posts made of 50 mm profile pipe along the perimeter of the sides of the base in increments of 0.5..1 m. The height of the posts should allow for laying 4...5 panels under the press, pressing them with the upper frame and installing jacks. The top of the outer posts is equipped with fastening steel clamps, into which crossbars made of 50 mm profile pipes can be placed;
• assembly of the upper frame from profile pipes, hinged at the top to the racks located on one of the sides. To uniformly transfer pressure to the plates, the frame is welded from longitudinal and transverse elements in increments of 50 cm. A small hand winch is used to easily lift and lower the frame;
• Two small hydraulic car jacks with a lifting capacity of ≥ 2 tons will be required.

If manufacturing is difficult (fastening elements by welding) or the number of planned products is small, then you can use vacuum pressing.

Structure composition:

• a durable table or workbench (sizes like for a press) with side racks for fixing the position of the sheets (2 racks on each side are enough);
• durable cover made of awning fabrics, hermetically glued with Cosmofen SA-12 glue. The dimensions of the cover should allow covering a stack of panels with its tight fixation around the perimeter;
• Vacuum pump;
• supply hoses.

After pumping out the air, a pressure of ≥ 1000 kg per m2 can be created.

The tools you will need are a spray bottle or a notched trowel to apply the glue evenly.

Sequence of work

1. Laying on an OSB sheet base.
2. Marking the position of expanded polystyrene, taking into account the necessary grooves for laying bars or frame boards during the construction of a building. The vertical gap from the edge of the sheets is from 2.5 to 5 cm, 25 mm is enough at the top and bottom. Because adhesive compositions dry very quickly (≤ 10 minutes), it is recommended to mark about 10 sheets at once. The lines are drawn with a marker or a simple pencil.
3. Cutting the foam to the required size.
4. Applying glue to the OSB, thoroughly covering the entire area.
5. Installation of foam with light pressing for a tight fit.
6. Applying glue to polystyrene foam.
7. Top overlay OSB sheet. The work must be done carefully, but quickly, so that the glue does not have time to set.
8. The process is then repeated until a stack of 5 panels is ready.
9. Pressing of products. If a homemade press of the design outlined above is used, then the upper frame is lowered onto the stack. Then the cross members are placed in the rack clamps and the necessary pressure is created by jacks installed between the frame and the cross members. The piston output of the jacks should be the same. If a vacuum method is used, then pressure is created by pumping air out of a well and hermetically sealed case. The exposure time of products under pressure is about an hour.
10. Removing jacks, lifting the upper frame or removing the shelter from the cover. The panels are transferred to a flat surface and stacked. They are kept in this position for at least a day to strengthen the adhesive joint.
11. The following stacks of products are made in a similar way.

As you can see, the manufacturing process is quite simple, and the products will cost at least 2 times cheaper than factory designs. Careful adherence to technology and the use of high-quality materials are guaranteed to ensure good quality.

Welcome blog readers Traveler's Diary. As I promised, we begin the report about building a house from SIP / SIP panels. We will tell you and show you from our own experience what kind of technology this is, its pros and cons, how to assemble a house from SIP / SIP panels... And of course we will share whether it is possible to build inexpensive house from SIP / SIP panels in just a month. We will try to keep up with construction two-story house with an area of ​​180 sq.m. with a foundation, roof and windows in 2 million rubles... And in the next article we will leave a review about the company building our house - TERMOVILLA (TERMOVILLA).

CONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETED!

And here finished projects We were not satisfied with houses made from SIP / SIP panels on any site. Something always turned out to be wrong: area, layout, design, cost... As a result, the schematic plan was drawn up independently and transferred to a construction company to develop an individual, rather than a ready-made project.

The result was a house project measuring 10 by 9 meters with two full floors, a total area of ​​180 sq.m and a living area sufficient for living big family with three children. On the ground floor there is a boiler room, an entrance hall, a bathroom, a kitchen, a living room and a bedroom. On the second floor there is a hall, a bathroom and three bedrooms. Plus an attic space.

Before the construction of the house began, electricity was supplied to the site, a building permit was obtained, a sewer septic tank was half buried and a test screwing of the piles was carried out... Construction is scheduled for the period from the beginning of April to the first days of May.

Well? Are we starting to build a house from SIP / SIP panels?

1 day. Pile foundation

A team arrived at the site with three-meter piles for the foundation and a small tractor to screw in these piles. The piles are treated with a special anti-corrosion compound. From morning to afternoon, all 25 foundation piles were installed. The piles are cut to a level at a height of 40-70cm from the ground (depending on the unevenness of the site). Cement mortar was poured inside the piles, and caps were welded on top, onto which 200mm foundation framing beams will be attached. Several higher piles were additionally fastened together with metal corners welded to them.

A start.

Day 2. Sand

While waiting for materials and the main team that will build a house from SIP / SIP panels, I started sanding. At the base of the piles, under the entire foundation area, geofabric was laid and a layer of sand was filled. These measures have several goals: maintaining dryness under the foundation, preventing plant growth, protection from mice and insects.

It took me a lot of effort and time alone. Finished by lunchtime.

3-4 days. Check-in

In the morning, a change house rented for a month was brought and installed by a KAMAZ manipulator. A team of three people also arrived. There are “conveniences” next to the cabin)

In two days, two trucks were unloaded and placed on the site building materials: lumber treated with Senezh antiseptic and factory-made "house kit" made from cut pieces construction project SIP / SIP panels. From the highway to the site, materials were loaded onto a manipulator and handled on it, since trucks could not get to the site.

After unloading the building materials, preparations began for tying the foundation with timber. I dug a small trench under the foundation for sewer pipes so as not to squirm under the finished house later...

Day 5 Foundation piping

The foundation tying consists of laying 200mm beams on the pile caps and a lining of roofing material, leveling and fastening the beams to each other and to the caps with huge self-tapping self-tapping screws.

After completing the piping of the pile foundation, the “basement” SIP / SIP zero-floor panels with a thickness of 224 mm are treated from below with a mastic primer for waterproofing.

6-7 day. Zero floor assembly

During the sixth or seventh day, SIP / SIP panels of zero overlap (ground floor floor) were laid. As I already said, to connect to each other they use wooden beams, which are inserted into the grooves of SIP/SIP panels on mounting foam and secured with self-tapping screws. The ends of all SIP/SIP panels around the perimeter were also covered with bars.

TO finished floor guide bars are attached, serving as the basis for the walls and partitions of the rooms on the first floor.

8-9 day. Assembly of the first floor

It took the team two days to erect walls and partitions from SIP / SIP panels on the first floor. External walls and almost all partitions (which are load-bearing walls) are made of SIP / SIP panels with a thickness of 174 mm. Some partitions that do not carry loads are made of SIP / SIP panels with a thickness of 124 mm.

By the evening of the ninth day it was possible to walk through all the rooms on the first floor and look out through the ready-made window openings, but there was still sky above your head...

10-12 days. Assembly of interfloor slabs

If before this rains happened, but occasionally, now, at the most inopportune moment, there are specific, fairly heavy rains that fall every day... (((We are worried about the dampness that has appeared in the house. The building materials are securely covered, but with the house it is more difficult... Construction crew He tries, whenever possible, to cover the house with special “mats,” but it is difficult to do this, especially with walls standing without covering. We are trying to reassure ourselves that upon completion of construction we will thoroughly dry everything with a heat gun.

Due to rain and installation interfloor covering lasted for three whole days.

For the interfloor floors, as on the zero floor, SIP / SIP panels with a thickness of 224 mm were used. This maximum thickness should provide rigidity to the floor as well as acceptable sound insulation.

By the end of the third day of work, the ceiling was completed. There's only a hole left in kitchen ceiling for the stairs to the second floor. A temporary technical staircase should appear here soon. This is what the house looks like from above now:

And this is what our house, being built from SIP / SIP panels, looked like from the inside with an almost completed ceiling... Watch the promised video:

Video on YouTube channel:

13-15 days. Assembly of the second floor

The rains continue, which slows down construction a little... We are waiting for the attic floor to thoroughly cover the house with film.

In three days, the team erected all the walls and partitions of the second floor. My son chose a bedroom for himself) And Lena, who came for the first time to the construction site of our house, chose a bedroom for us )

The construction of a house made of SIP / SIP panels is half completed and the structure is beginning to take on the appearance of the house we designed. And this cannot but please)

In the coming days, the house should have an attic, stairs, roof, and windows. Very soon!

16-17 days. Assembling the attic floor

The attic floor, which became the ceiling for the second floor, took two days.

Unlike the first and second floors, SIP / SIP panels with a thickness of 174 mm and not 224 mm were used for the attic floor. This is quite enough for the attic.

All that remains is to cover the ends of the attic floor panels with timber around the entire perimeter... The construction of our house from SIP / SIP panels is nearing completion!

Day 18 Stairs

It has been raining almost every day for a week and a half. This became a real test for our nerves, for the wet builders, and for the Egger OSB sheets from which the SIP / SIP panels are made.

That day, the rain started at night and continued to rain all day... In addition, there was no electricity until the evening. The hungry and wet builders had no choice but to drive the water off the film-covered roof, wipe out the puddles in the house and assemble the ladders...

The temporary technical stairs turned out to be of surprisingly high quality and strong - both the interfloor staircase and the entrance staircase on the porch.

19-21 days. Attic

In three days, an attic appeared in our house from SIP / SIP panels.

Mayerlats, beams and rafters for the roof were installed, as well as gables (triangular walls at the ends of the attic).

All that remains is to lay a vapor barrier, make lathing and cover the house with metal tiles. In addition, ventilation pipes need to be installed on the roof, which should arrive any day now... But the metal entrance door and all 16 plastic windows have already arrived at the construction site.

22-23 days. Door and roof

Our house under construction from SIP / SIP panels now has a metal entrance door!

And the house now has a metal roof!

With the arrival of the May holidays came the sun, and the rains finally stopped! We came to the site for the first time as a family and had the first barbecue on our site. This turn of events made our builders very happy: barbecue for May is good! And finishing all the work with the onset of Easter is also correct!

By the way, the name of the company building our house from SIP / SIP panels can already be read on the facade. This - .

24-25 day. Completion and windows

The last two days of building a house from SIP / SIP panels were spent completing the installation of the roof, cleaning the house and area, and installing windows.

The installation of ventilation outlets was postponed... We were let down by the store - the ordered ventilation outlets (pipes) were delivered, but the passage holes were successfully forgotten in the company's warehouse. Company crew TERMOVILLA completed the installation of the roof and began cleaning the house and grounds.

We ordered plastic windows from a third-party company so as not to have to transport them 400 km from Moscow. We settled on five-chamber VEKA Softline profiles with double-glazed windows and external lamination. The installation of plastic windows was also carried out by third-party craftsmen.

What's the result? House made of SIP / SIP panels from the company was built in 25 days and cost us less than 2 million rubles. This amount included: project development, delivery of building materials, pile foundation, house frame (walls, partitions and all three floors are assembled from SIP / SIP panels), metal roof, metal entrance door, plastic windows and technical stairs with all construction and installation works.

The house was created by individual project. The dimensions of the house are 9x10 meters. Two full floors and a “cold” attic. The area of ​​two floors is 180 sq.m. The total number of VEKA Softline plastic windows is 16 pieces. During the construction of the house, SIP / SIP panels made of OSB-3 Egger sheets and 25F polystyrene foam were used.

Our house, assembled using construction technology from SIP / SIP panels, is ready. Ahead - external and internal finishing, as well as installation of communications...

The construction of houses from sip panels is a novelty in the domestic construction market. If Europeans have not been surprised by such houses for 50-60 years, then for Russian developers this technology is a reason for heated discussions.

Sip panels are a structure made of polystyrene foam layer, enclosed on both sides in OSB boards. The internal heat and sound insulating layer can be of different thicknesses, it all depends on the future purpose of the panels. Thickened sip panels are purchased for arranging the external walls of winter buildings, and thinner panels are used for internal walls or for arranging summer houses.

Advantages of the technology for building houses from sip panels

The main factor in the high popularity of this material for construction is the proper level of its factory readiness. That is, buying sip panels– the developer buys a product assembled using technology and ready for use. At the construction site, all that remains is to correctly assemble the box of the house itself, which eliminates defects that arise as a result of excessive “independent activity” of the developer.

Advantages of sip panels

In addition, the customer can build a frame house using panels with his own hands, saving quite an impressive amount.

Under frame houses no need for a complex, expensive foundation. Installation does not require a lot of manpower - everything can be done with your own hands, besides, you do not need to spend money on ordering special equipment, the panels are easy to carry yourself.

Although frame houses have a significant number of advantages, panels for them are still produced by more than one manufacturer, there are a huge number of them, and each makes panels according to own technology. So the assessment of the quality of the purchased material lies entirely with the buyer.

It is worth paying attention to the level of formaldehyde emission in the slabs - it should be no more than E1 (this level is safe for humans).

In addition, the inner layer of the slab should be high-quality self-extinguishing foam, polystyrene foam or polyurethane foam Despite the fact that the thermal protection of such houses is an advantage, it also has one significant drawback: the house functions like a thermos, because OSB boards, saving energy, do not allow water vapor to pass through. Therefore, frame houses require mechanical ventilation technology. A recuperation unit that removes air from living rooms , and warming up cold air masses

coming from the street.

The installation of a ventilation system in such houses is thought out at the design stage, otherwise the elements of the slabs tightly fitted to each other will tightly clog the box of the house, creating unsuitable living conditions inside.

Technology for laying a ventilation system in a house made of sip panels

In addition, houses made of sip panels have poor sound insulation. Polystyrene foam and polystyrene foam inside the boards are not soundproofing materials; on the contrary, they conduct well and sometimes increase impact noise.

Of course, if your frame house is located in the wilderness, there is no need to worry about unnecessary noise, but if the house is located in a rather busy place, you will have to strengthen its interior decoration with noise-absorbing material yourself.

How to choose a foundation for a frame house? Despite the fact that laying the foundation for a house made of sip panels does not require large expenses (about 20% of the total construction budget), you still have to put in some effort and ingenuity. The thing is that the box of the house has an unusually low weight, plus, it is necessary to take into account the specific characteristics of the soil, climate conditions, depth groundwater

building plot.

1. The main nuance associated with these houses is seasonal heaving of the soil, after which the entire frame of the house can shift, crack or tilt. The best foundation options for them are: Screw piles - simple, quick to install, cheap foundation
2. - a rarely used technology. It is unprofitable for developers, because it is suitable only for non-heaving soils, while the rest will provoke its deformation after a season or two. To make such a foundation, you need to remove 40 cm of soil, install formwork with reinforcement and fill it with cement. The main disadvantage of such a foundation is the long drying time of the concrete pour (up to a month). In addition, the underground floor of such a house will be much less ventilated than in pile house.
3. – a good option for slightly heaving soils. Its arrangement consists of a thick reinforced concrete slab lying on a bulk cushion. Such a foundation allows you to evenly distribute the load on the ground and protect the house from seasonal shifts.
4. - a good option for slightly heaving soil, much cheaper than the monolithic type. Such a foundation is a structure made of individual slabs located at the corners of the future frame of the house, at the junction of rooms and massive load-bearing beams.

How to install panels yourself?

Despite the fact that the procedure for building a frame house is simple and quick, to build it, you will need many auxiliary tools, finishing materials and fasteners.

A careful calculation is made specifically to find out how much material will be spent on construction. This calculation must take into account all the locations of door and window openings, their width and height, as well as the thickness of all external and internal walls of the house and the location of communication networks.

Panel country houses - installation technology

Do-it-yourself installation of panel houses is done as follows:

• waterproofing (for example, roofing felt) and a strapping beam impregnated with an antiseptic substance are placed on the existing foundation base;
• starting boards are attached to the strapping beam using screws;
• standard width of sip panels: 125, 250 and 280 cm. They are attached to each other using special grooves into which wooden dowels are inserted. The fastening must take place without any gaps, hermetically, with further blowing of polyurethane foam, so that the future construction does not allow the cold to pass through;
• if the house is on a shallow foundation, the starting boards are attached to composite panels, and not the harness.

Roof laying

Roof panel fastening diagram

Roof construction in panel house very easy to do with your own hands. Besides the fact that in this case there is no need to do the sheathing, you can roofing pie there is also no need to assemble it, because the sandwich panel is a ready-made element.

You just need to lay the sip panels on the rafters, secure them with self-tapping screws, and, leaving a small ventilation gap, cover them with a roof. Best suited bitumen shingles and metal tiles.

In addition, if you have the means and can afford the services of a light crane, assemble the roof on the ground with your own hands, and then install it in place using a crane.

External and internal decoration of the house with vulture panels

Finishing, both internal and external, is done very quickly. Since the panels are smooth and even, the finishing cladding does not require preliminary screeding or plastering.

However, before installing drywall and finishing, you need to sand and seal the joints between the panels with paint mesh. In addition, before carrying out any Finishing work, it is necessary to make holes for communications.

In rooms with high humidity (bathroom, toilet), the joints are sealed with silicone sealant, and sip panels are overlapped to protect the wall materials from getting wet. The floors in these rooms need to be additionally waterproofed or even self-leveling acrylic floors should be laid.

Among the exterior finishing methods, the most attractive are:

• thin plastic vinyl siding panels do not rot and perfectly protect from moisture;
• facade plaster– the most common finishing variation;
• corrugated sheet- easy finishing material made of metal, characterized by its strength and resistance to rust;
• fiber cement It is a strong, compressed slab made of cement (more than 90%) and cellulose.
• facade tiles- a cheap and popular material that imitates natural finishing elements.

Thus, having considered all the nuances and features of building houses from sip panels, we can conclude that the positive characteristics of the material prevail over the negative ones.

In addition, the constant rise in price of housing, especially apartments in cities, will soon make country frame houses the only option for those wishing to own personal property.

The construction market offers modern, more convenient to use, cost-effective, environmentally friendly clean materials. Thanks to technological progress and high competition, they have affordable prices and good quality. So modern building materials are sip panels.

Gaining popularity, this great view construction country house.

What are sip panels?

The sip panel consists of two OSB boards (oriented strand board, similar to chipboard, but more durable and elastic) and polystyrene foam between them. They are glued with polyurethane glue under high pressure. Expanded polystyrene is an excellent insulation material, does not support combustion and is not affected by moisture.

The slabs vary from 9 to 12 cm, polystyrene foam from 10 to 20 cm. Depending on the thickness of the panel, the material is selected for the floor, for the walls or for the ceiling.

Advantage of SIP material

The advantage of sip panels is:

• ease of installation (no need to insulate walls or sheathe insulation);
• in ease;
• at an affordable price;
• possibilities to order right size and the required form;
• naturalness and harmlessness, thanks to the wooden surface;
• high noise and heat insulation;
• ease of installation with your own hands;
• fire resistance, thanks to special impregnation.

What are the advantages of structures made from sip panels?

For construction country house, it is advisable to use sip panels. Their main advantage is their compactness: with a small thickness they have high thermal insulation, comparable to the thickness of an insulated concrete or brick wall.

The lightness of this design does not require a reinforced deep foundation, which greatly simplifies the work.

Simplicity of installation contributes to the rapid construction of a country house and the absence of errors in the design. The presence of individual panels in size and shape speeds up and simplifies the process as much as possible.

Technology for constructing a country house from sip panels

Construction of a country house with your own hands is possible for anyone. First you need to study the construction technology.

Preparatory stage

Having decided to build a country house from vulture panels, you need to contact the organization that produces them. They will provide many projects, one of which can be selected and edited to suit individual wishes.

According to the approved project, the manufacturer creates a set of materials required sizes and shapes, with each panel labeled. Such parts do not require additional processing or cutting; they are simply mounted in place.

For installation, it is necessary to prepare well-dried wooden boards the size of the grooves of the sip panels.

Foundation structure

For a light frame country house, a shallow strip foundation made of monolithic reinforced concrete is sufficient. To reduce its buoyancy, the base is covered with sand.

A concrete foundation involves laying pipes for communications before pouring concrete. Such a strong, stable foundation is a labor-intensive process.

An even more labor-intensive type of foundation is on screw piles. Requires a special drilling machine. Its advantage is the creation of a ventilated cellar, which is important in humid conditions of the dacha.

The foundation is coated with mastic, and a strapping beam is laid on it - the basis for fastening the sip panels. At the corners, the structure is fastened with locks made of grooves and tenons, screwed to the foundation using anchors, and is also treated with waterproofing.

Walling

The construction of the walls of the house occurs in the following sequence:

• A board of width and thickness corresponding to the groove of the selected panel is laid on the strapping beam along the entire perimeter. It is attached using self-tapping screws, every 15-20 cm. Foamed grooves of the panels will be inserted into it.
• Connecting bars are installed in the corners to join the two panels. The grooves are also treated with a small volume of polyurethane foam; it should be taken into account that it expands. After docking.
• Then the remaining panels are joined to the corner elements, the grooves are foamed, and the connection is fixed with self-tapping screws.
• After installing all the walls, the upper grooves are foamed, and the upper trim beam is placed in them.

Roof installation

The roof of a garden building should protect from bad weather and noise, and retain heat. These functions are perfectly performed by sip panels.

For fastening, a roof frame is created with spikes corresponding to the grooves. Thus, the structure is assembled very quickly. If garden house large, construction will require additional crossbars to hold the panels.

Installation of windows and doors

Garden house built like this in a fast way, is not subject to shrinkage, and installation of windows and doors is possible immediately. Installation is possible with your own hands.

To do this you will need: support wedges for leveling, a level, fasteners, polyurethane foam, and tape.

Installation procedure:

• Windows (doors) are inserted into the finished holes and secured on the sides with wedges.
• Then the level is checked and adjusted.
• After alignment, you can fix the fasteners to the opening, the free space is foamed.
• The waterproofing film of the window and walls is connected using tape.

External and internal finishing

Finishing of the structure can begin immediately after completion of construction. This is important to maintain a presentable appearance.

The surface of the sip panels is flat and smooth – it does not require careful leveling, which will speed up the finishing process. There are even options for varnishing sip panels, which emphasizes the closeness to nature and naturalness.

This building material is suitable for any type of external and internal decoration.

Building a country house with your own hands is much faster and easier if you use modern material. Its cost is paid off not only by ease of installation - time savings, but also by subsequent savings on heating costs.

The companies that create and sell it talk a lot about the advantages of prefabricated housing made from SIP panels. However, the relatively simple technology of building a house from SIP panels, built with your own hands, reveals many nuances. They are contained, for example, in the issues of creating optimal project foundation for construction from SIP or a choice from several existing most suitable method connecting building elements to each other.

What you should immediately pay attention to

Even at the stage of choosing the size of the future house, the first appears. Indeed, in order to minimize waste of building materials, it is necessary to take into account standard width SIP panels – 1.25 m. If the development of the house project was ordered from a specialized organization, then expansion gaps will also be included in the construction plan. These are 3 mm tolerances, which are specifically left at the junction of two panels. However, as experience shows, OSB-3 boards, which make up the cladding of SIP panels, can have quite significant deviations in standard sizes. Thus, in accordance with the standards, the permissible error is +/- 3 mm per linear meter. In addition, SPI panels from different batches can also differ significantly in linear dimensions, up to 5 mm. This leads to the fact that, for example, one of the 8 panels that make up a 10 m long wall on the plan will have to be cut at the installation site. You can, on the contrary, get a gap of 20-30 mm, which is already eliminated by filling with polyurethane foam.

Choosing a foundation

Structures made from SIP panels have significantly less weight than walls made of brick or even porous concrete (gas or foam blocks) and, often, they do not require wide, powerful foundations. However, when choosing the type of foundation, it is necessary to focus on the characteristics of the soil. Therefore at home new technology from SIP panels can be used following types foundations:

1. Reinforced concrete monolithic shallow slab

This is the so-called “Swedish” or “floating” foundation. It is one of the most expensive, but most effective bases. It is recommended to use it on weak-bearing unstable soils (swampy, quicksand, peat bogs). Moreover, if the area is marked high level lifting or standing groundwater, then under the reinforced concrete monolithic slab An extensive drainage system should be installed.

“Floating” foundations often contain elements of the main utilities of the house, layers of insulation, and in some cases, heating systems. This design can play the role of a heat accumulator and significantly increases the energy efficiency of the entire structure.

The technology for building houses from SIP panels on a slab base allows for the construction of two and three-story buildings.

2. Strip foundation

On non-heaving soils, its depth may be higher than the freezing level. If you plan to equip the house basement or the rock adjacent to the base is subject to severe frost heaving, then the base of the foundation is buried below the actual freezing mark. Ribbon structures, especially reinforced concrete ones, have a fairly high load-bearing capacity, so they can be used for the construction of houses of any number of floors.

3. Bored pile foundation

It is characterized by a laying depth exceeding the level of soil freezing. Installation of SIP panels is carried out on a prefabricated reinforced concrete grillage, which performs the functions of tying piles. Bored supports support the weight of structures, allowing houses with attics to be built on them.

4. Screw piles

A prefabricated wooden rand beam is usually used as a strapping on them. On soils with average bearing capacity screw piles can be used in the construction one-story houses, as well as having small attics.

Zero level

Before starting the installation of SIP panels, a lower trim (crown) beam with a section of 100x150 mm is laid on the foundation base. The place where it is placed should be reliably waterproofed. For this purpose it is used bitumen mastic, roofing felt (in two layers) or several layers of bitumen paper. In addition, the timber itself must be treated with antiseptic and water-repellent compounds. The figure below shows a diagram of laying the strapping on a strip foundation.

IMPORTANT! For installation bottom beam, deducing " zero level“, it is necessary to approach with special responsibility. Not only the ease of subsequent assembly of SIP panels, but also the quality and durability of the entire structure depends on the accuracy of its positioning.

Crown fastening

The lower beam is fastened to the base using anchor bolts with a diameter of 10-12 mm. They are buried in the concrete by at least 100 mm, installed in increments of 50 cm. The bolts are screwed flush with the surface of the beam. To do this, it is recommended to drill countersunk holes in the wood - holes larger than the diameter of the bolt head, and to simplify installation operations, use socket wrenches. The recesses of the recesses can be filled with tar or bitumen; they will help prevent corrosion of the fasteners.

Basement tier

The structure of the basement tier (floor) consists of wooden logs (load-bearing frame) and horizontally arranged SIP panels. To assemble it, the first panel is laid on top of the frame in the corner. A groove is selected in the polystyrene layer along the perimeter of its end part. A SIP key or an insert from a piece of timber 80x200 mm (for SIP with a thickness of 225 mm) is placed into the short inner end. Such protruding elements become ridges, to which the next SIP panels with pre-selected grooves are installed.

After assembling the first row, a groove is also selected in its longitudinal end part for laying a log made of 80x200 mm timber or doubled from 2x40x200 mm boards. The pairing is made with wood screws 75 mm long, screwed in at intervals of no more than 40 cm. The panels are attached to the joists through OSB-3 facing boards with self-tapping screws 40 mm long at intervals of 150-200 mm. The final stage of creating a basement floor is the protection (rubbing) of the external ends of the SIP panels. They are covered with a 40x200 mm board.

This is what it looks like typical diagram location of the basement floor elements:

IMPORTANT! Before laying the panel elements of the basement tier, their lower planes must be treated with bitumen waterproofing mastic.

Sometimes, for the sake of imaginary savings, the technology of building houses from SIP panels is deliberately violated and regular boards on the joists. The creation of a thermal insulation barrier is carried out on a base of expanded clay, poured directly onto the ground over a layer of waterproofing. Although this method can be used when installing strip foundation, however, its effectiveness leaves much to be desired. Good thermal insulation similar design will require the installation of additional insulation between the subfloor and the finished floor, such as foam sheets or mineral wool. This will negate the initial savings and will end up being more labor intensive.

Walls

Bottom wall trim

After assembling the basement floor, the beams of the lower wall framing are installed on it in accordance with the plan of the interior. The elements of the bottom trim are beams with a width corresponding to the thickness of the polystyrene foam in the SIP panel and a height of 50-60 mm. A massive beam of this size is not always available for free sale, and it costs a lot. Therefore, often, a composite element made up of several boards is used instead. suitable sizes. The lower trim is fastened with 75 mm self-tapping screws in increments of no more than 40 cm.

When placing the timber, it is necessary to take into account the location of the doors in interior spaces. For ease of installation, as well as to prevent errors in planning, timber in doorways is cut out after assembling the walls from SIP panels. Therefore, in places like this bottom harness It is not screwed to the floor.

Installation of wall panels using a frame method

The wall assembly of houses from SIP panels is carried out using methods similar to those already described for the lower floor. The most common is the frame method, in which the splicing parts are no longer logs, but double racks 40 (50) x 150 mm (for SIP with a thickness of 175 mm):

• assembly begins from the corner of the building, placing the first wall element on the framing beam and aligning its end flush with the floor slab;
• panel, with external and inner sides, is attached to the harness with self-tapping screws (L=40 mm, pitch – 150 mm);
• A single 50x150 mm post is placed in the outer vertical end and screwed through the OSB sheets with self-tapping screws (L=40 mm);
• A vertical double post (corner tenon) is installed along the inner edge of the panel opposite the end of the corner perpendicular wall. It is attached with 8x240 mm self-tapping screws with partial threads, screwed in from the outer plane of the first wall panel with a pitch of 400 mm;
• The assembly of the corner ends with the joining of a perpendicular panel, scrolled along the corner tenon with self-tapping screws 40 mm long. To ensure a tight fit, it is hammered from the end with a sledgehammer through a spacer made of board or timber;
• Further ordinary technology for installing SIP panels involves similar actions - connecting the next section of the wall through a tenon rack.

IMPORTANT! In order for the rack to extend into the panel to the required depth, a groove is made in the polystyrene foam. The strength of the connection of the wall elements, as well as the thermal efficiency of the joint, depends on the uniformity of its sampling. Therefore, when making a high-quality groove yourself, you should purchase or rent a thermal knife (in the figure below) or special device for an angle grinder, consisting of a stop and a milling attachment.

Installation of wall panels using a frameless method

The frameless connection method involves the use of dowels made from OSB-3 boards or special thermal inserts, the so-called “splines”. They are a narrow fragment of a SIP panel, its dimensions fitting inside the groove of a full-size panel. This frameless assembly technology makes it possible to reduce heat loss through the wood material of the timber, which has a higher thermal conductivity than polystyrene foam. The diagram for installing a SIP panel in a frameless manner using splines is shown in the figure below. It is optimally suited for the construction of one-story houses.

IMPORTANT! Regardless of the chosen installation method, the connection points of any elements are processed before being placed in place polyurethane foam. It helps to achieve absolute tightness of joints and increase the reliability of the structure as a whole.

After completing the assembly of the walls of the first floor, the upper ends of the panels are also foamed, and a 40 (50) x 150 mm strapping beam is placed into the foam sample. It is screwed along all OSB sheets with self-tapping screws 40 mm long, and to the frame posts - 75 mm.

Interfloor and attic floors are manufactured similarly to the basement tier, just as the technology for assembling the walls of the second or attic level repeats the installation operations for the walls of the first floor.

Roofing structure for a house made of SIP panels

Roof installation begins with securing the load-bearing elements, mauerlats, purlins and ridge, resting on load-bearing walls(in the case of a frameless assembly method) or on the racks of the structure. The purlins are fixed at the point of contact with the base with two 8x280 mm self-tapping screws.

Next, the rafter system is installed. Each rafter at the point of contact with the purlins is fixed with 8x280 mm self-tapping screws. Installation of rafters begins from one of the gables. If the roof has a complex multi-slope structure, then installation begins with the valleys. Below is a structural diagram of the placement of load-bearing elements of the roofing system.

Important! Rafter system The house is a particularly important structure, so it is better to hire experienced helpers for its construction.

Summing up

Assembling a house from SIP panels with my own hands quite accessible, even to home craftsmen who do not have much experience in the construction of such structures. As a last resort, you can purchase a ready-made kit (constructor set) from a wide range offered by specialized companies. Carefully adjusted elements of such a constructor, as well as detailed instructions for assembling a house from SIP panels, make its use more preferable if you plan to do some or all of the work yourself.
