Structural insulated panels (SIPs)
Structural insulated panels are pieces of insulative foam sandwiched between two pieces of plywood or oriented strand board. Since they are manufactured off-site and delivered on-site, they are less costly and less labour intensive than other walling systems.
Insulated concrete panels
Insulated concrete panels are panelling systems that consist of interior and exterior layers of concrete that sandwich a layer of rigid insulation foam. These panels have several benefits including durability, strength, and longevity.
Wooden frame panels
Wood panelling systems are composed of insulated wooden frames. Whilst lightweight, they are durable, energy-efficient, and widely applicable.
The advantages of high-quality structural wall panelling
Structural wall panelling is an environmentally friendly, robust, and often overlooked way to structure walls. They are one of the most airtight, well-insulated systems on the market and a sustainable choice for the more environmentally conscious designer.
Choosing a high-quality structural wall panelling system ensures you are using less energy, thus reducing power bills, reducing waste during installation, and providing greater control over indoor temperatures. Structural wall panels are also durable, easily replaceable, and aesthetically appealing.
How to choose structural wall panelling that’s right for you
When choosing a structural wall panelling system for your home, there are several factors you might wish to consider: your home’s climate zone, durability, comfort, cost, comfort, and style.
The right panelling system will suit the conditions of your location as well as your budget. For example, people in homes that are situated in areas in New Zealand prone to weather events like hurricanes, flooding, heavy rain, etc., may opt for something other than a timber system as this is less strong than steel and concrete systems. If you live in a cooler region of New Zealand, consider systems with a high-insulation value to ensure greater control over indoor temperatures, which will reduce long-term costs.
If you are concerned with the environmental impact of your panelling system, discuss with your fabricator what system might have the least effect on your surrounding environment.
