This is how you build a house when you don't want to live in a fire hazard, and when you don't want to worry about your home blowing down from high winds, and when you don't want termite infestation, and when you want a much higher R value than stick construction can offer, meaning lower energy costs. Two by fours [actually measuring 1 1/2 x 3 1/2] with a whopping R13 batt insulation = LOL. This is how you build a house when you want to pay less in labor costs rather than paying top dollar for 19th century throwbacks beating nails into wood. Yeah, this is how I want to build a house!

Its always good to see experts posting comments!! Well, the "gap" referred to below is closed using the same panel in the video - just cut to fit. The panel itself does not have any concrete in it - its pure insulation and the steel which allows tremendous spans with no need for support. Spans of 7.5 meters can be achieved with no support. All constructive comments welcome!!!

Translation: It's a SIP (Structural Insulated Panel), not an ICF (Insulated Concrete Forum).

I think this is actually an ICE block not an SIP

was concrete put into the roof later? or, were the panels merely used as a "framework" for roofing? I was thinking "spray in" insulation, in lieu of concrete may work, but wasn't sure if the concrete was needed for stability in the design.

Was going to reply under Turbo's post but he's correct. This is a SIP and not ICF. Not trying to be a dick, just thinking that maybe you can correct the title. Looks like the walls could be ICF though. I'm looking for info on ICF's for the roof versus SIP but I think I'd be good to go with ICF walls and SIP's for roof. Thanks for posting this as I haven't seen metal SIP's yet. Most are OSB style but maybe different countries have different styles.

These are concrete filled? Seems like one could add just a little more steel and skip the concrete entirely.

No, no concrete in the roof panels. Just steel reinforced rigid insulation panels. Very strong, light weight, durable, fire proof.

You can make these panels yourself by using galvanized "C" channel up to 6" wide or custom order them in 8" width and insert tje foam between them
