Brilliant Video, really professionally done. I am aware that coming from the UK it is definitely not my place to comment on how the US construct timber homes! However, the thing about SIPs Panels is, they should be air tight as a number one priority. This will be compromised when drilling into the surface and gauging out service holes. Therefore, in the UK, we apply a 500 gauge internal membrane, sealed around the edges with tape. We then plant 1 x 2" timber carcasing to the now airtight building. This provides space for electrical and plumbing services without compromising the integrity of the SIPs Panels. Plaster-board is applied to the internal surface of the carcase. This is how we do it over here, it's probably not perfect and you can guarantee the Germans do it better!
@davebrittain92169 жыл бұрын
Hugo ok first thing is he did not show the finishing. You shoot foam back in and put the plug in then screw a piece of wood over temporarily to keep the plug from pushing out while the foam cures. When done it is air tight. The level of finish in homes is generally of a higher quality in N America than the UK. I was shocked watching videos of new construction in UK showing just pipe mounted on the bedroom walls to hang clothes hangers on instead of closets. That would never fly here. Unless the vids I was seeing are not the norm???

Dave Brittain Hi Dave, Yes, fair comment about UK home quality but thankfully it is improving. Suburban UK homes tend to be unbelievably small as well. As I mentioned earlier it's the Germans who build the best houses this side of the pond and we have learnt a lot from them in recent years. I know from meeting oak frame builders visiting the UK from the US at conferences that building homes in America is more than just a job it's a lifelong passion. Anyway, thanks again for the brilliant video. Cheers Mate!

Take the concept of simplifying construction with pre-built panels and expand it: install electrical wiring in surface-mounted conduits. If building codes do not permit this then they are outdated. Cutting chases not only makes installation and maintenance much more difficult, it also has a significant effect on the insulating and structural qualities of the building envelope. There are multiple practical ways to make these systems safe for the occupants as well as disguising, covering, or otherwise integrating with the desired decour.

Good question, but I guess you have to keep in mind that there are channels running throughout the home so you don't have to keep drilling through studs and joists, etc. You just penetrate into the channel (unless you have blocking to drill through). So not like adding runs in an existing home either. Worth a study. And some projects I see on KZbin are just using the SIP panels for roof and exterior walls only married to interior stick framed walls. In that case, I suppose avoid using exterior walls for plumbing and electrical where you're able to. Seems like this project used stick frame for interior walls with the exception of sheer walls that were SIPs so mixed bag.

Hello Scan 86 - just to reply to your comment below, PVC and expandable polystyrene polymers are compatible and there is not concern for and reaction between the electrical wiring insulation and the EPS foam as you mentioned below. PVC is very resistant to attack which is why it is used to insulate electrical wiring. EPS foams are not corrosive, this is why they are used for food packaging and insulated cups safe for human contact.

I did not quite get how all of those route ways were tunneled. I guess you would have to be there. It went kind of fast. You should always though drill dead center through a joist so you do not take away from either the compression, or the tensile strength of it. If you drill too high, you take away from the compression strength of the joist, drill too low and the tension/tensile strength is diminished. Drilling dead center through studs is equally as important. We are all learning something every day. Thanks for the instruction.

An electrician with experience can do a SIP house in the same amount of time as a framed house. There are some things they must do special, as in this video. But there are other areas where they save time, such as not having to drill through every stud in a wall, or put on metal protection plates because they are too close to the surface.
@ian.lwilson71569 жыл бұрын
Interesting vid. It's difficult time consuming wiring but nothing different from LOCKWOOD ( refer LOCKWOOD HOMES NZ) wiring which has to pass through tricky walls. We have in NZ segregation of services so we can not put ELV in same chase or hole as a mains voltage. ie: no speaker wire with power cable. With reference to the abusive people who still use metal conduit etc and have rats in their houses, I cant imagine a rat eating through 10m of polystyrene to get to the cable. They'd be full. Good video, it's another one unusual to us in Australasia and Britain but hey, you guys have huge aircraft carriers wired in funny ways so you must be doing something right!!

I've got news for you, want to make this easier? Build a stick frame house. Wall construction may be quicker with a SIP wall, but now it's going to take you 10X as to what is normal to then install the electric, the plumbing, and the heating ducts. They don't tell you this. This might work for the Amish who don't use electric, or heat ducts, or plumbing inside the house, but then again, who wants to live like the Amish, other than the Amish? You could have a stick built house done 10X faster than this. So much for SIP walls..........
@robscott98863 жыл бұрын
There are several advantages and disadvantages. But suggesting stick built 10X faster is simply false. I have built two and never run plumbing or heating through the SIPs. There is no need and there are other reasons not to run them in exterior walls in any event. The panels are factory fabricated to tight tolerances and go up very quickly. The wiring is relatively straightforward.

Maybe we just need a robotic insulation tunneling device operated by 3D computer instructions or a smartphone. It's not a low-tech solution but it may well be the best one. Maybe with a small camera, light to troubleshoot. When we can have nanorobots clearing, navigating clogged arteries and drones for under 100$ we should be able to engineer something affordable, usable that can tunnel through XPS insulation of SIP panels. Then it's a perhaps matter of attaching a flex while it tunnels or pushing it in after or pulling it through with a wire that was attached to the tunneling device. Maybe we can even make it strong enough to bore through OSB at joints. We can even have it navigate through premade holes, sections in the OSB, laminate panels to navigate through floors and accross panels. Maybe we can make it go in with a feed and have variable tunnel sizes, bore heads. This was never feasible before due to the amount of structural boards and stone, brick and other materials that interrupted the insulation but this seems like a very doable thing for SIP walls. It could cut the cost, ease of electrician and other services labour dramatically. I think the building industry can introduce more tech solutions. Building is I think one of the last, biggest least automated, tech-ified industries. This should be a realistic solution. But maybe it isn't worth the cost-effort when we can just throw cheap electrician tears and work at the problem and have it solved with precut wire-chases by the SIP manufacturer but we can all see in this video that that isn't exactly sufficient or ideal. IUf they can get a robot on mars or a spacecraft on the moon there have to be engineers willing to try and solve this sort of bs.
@steamsteam66075 жыл бұрын
Maybe the tunneling device can be attached to some pushing rod and can even spray/'glue", "paste the sides of the new tunnel with some form of plastic/lubricant piped in from the pushing "rod" that eases the follow-up with the wires or tubing. Along with navigation through strategic places between panels, joints we could navigate an antire SIP house for new light fixtures, wiring or perhaps even water supply. Now to make it a realistic solution by making it a SIP standard and regular tool.

+gracilism I missed that too. Are those pre-cut in SIPs at certain intervals?
@jackarmstrong98038 жыл бұрын
Yes, the chases (vertical and horizontal) come precut from the factory or however you specify when you order the panels.

If you use vacuum or blower to get the line where you want it instead of the steel fishing wand. Just keep the 'turns-drag' in mind.

Im an electrician(UK). All respect for american electricians but guys this just so unsafe system. No conduit in the polyester filled wooden wall,no cable zones . Its just a mess. Once its catches fire big bada buuuuum! Another thing. If the house will require a full rewiring, how will you do that? R you just will smash the polyester out?

It looks like you are using a stranded wire or 14 gauge wire or less, it would be more difficult with 12 to make the transitions you are making...

It depends on the code and area where you are building. Any size chase can be drilled, but it removes valuable insulation!

are you allowed to pull low voltage with 12 wire in a sip?
@davebrittain92169 жыл бұрын
Ya its not in pipe. Its considered a chase.
@nofiat45189 жыл бұрын
+Brian Rice I wouldn't do it. Speaker wire, or any low volt wire should be at least 12" apart when run parallel to each other. The induction can will cause interference that will degrade sound quality in speaker wire, data loss in category and coax cable. I am a low voltage contractor and was watching this video for ideas for building my own house.
