Understanding Panel Joints in a CIP System Home: Installation and Maintenance Tips

In this video, we discuss the details of panel joints in CIP (Concrete Insulated Panels) homes, explaining how they function and why proper installation is crucial. Learn why we use a 3/8 gap between panels for a sleek look and how to maintain these joints to ensure durability. We cover the entire process from caulking with backer rod and dynamic sealant to checking the joints every 5 years for any necessary re-caulking. Additionally, we discuss how panels are tied together structurally using welded embeds, providing insights into the engineering and design considerations. Whether you're a homeowner or a professional, this guide will help you keep your concrete home in top shape. Don't forget to subscribe for more tips and tutorials!
