Saulnier and business partner Joel German came up with the idea of panelized building construction with plastic bottles after research into various applications. “I’m not knocking wood construction…but I would like governments to take notice of the low carbon footprint, the durability of the material and the ecological responsibility of using it,” says David Saulnier, president, JD Composites, based in Meteghan, N.S., a community of about 5,000 residents between Digby and Yarmouth. More importantly, the house is green - costing little to heat and cool and it can be built for about the same costs as a conventional stick-built residence. And it only took two days to erect the 184 lightweight SIP walls and roof panels using a boom truck and small crew. recently completed a 2,000 square foot house comprised of six-inch-thick structurally insulated panels (SIPs) made from 600,000 recycled plastic bottles. This advanced approach sets us apart and guarantees reliable results.A small Nova Scotia company has come up with what its owners think is the perfect use of plastic pop bottles: make houses out of them. Unlike other solutions that rely on glues used in a secondary process, our panels feature PUR foam that is injected in liquid form and expands to bond directly with the OSB under high pressure. Our panels are designed to withstand structural loads, with the insulation core auto-adhesively bonded to the OSB facings for improved adhesion. The difference of internal floor space or plotting efficiency is significant to some clients.Įnsure structural integrity with our advanced bonding technology. For example, at a U-value of 0.02 W/m2K, a SIP wall using PUR is about 50mm thinner than one using PS. In addition, PUR typically transmits about 40% less heat for a given thickness. Panels with a PUR/PIR core achieve the same U-value over a thinner cross-section than panels with PS core. The insulating core material is polyurethane (PUR), polyisocyanurate (PIR) or polystyrene (PS). SIPs or Eco panels take the form of a rigid foam insulating core, sandwiched between two structural facings. As well as faster build, they give less air leakage, therefore less drafts, fewer noise penetrations and significantly lower energy bills and CO2 emissions. Hence their popularity for both Full Wall, roof panels, Volumetric and Modular buildings over, for example, timber framing. Furthermore, with the right know-how and machinery their manufacture is more cost-effective than older technology systems. SIPs buildings are more energy efficient and quieter.
