Free Literature Review On Modular Panels

Modular panels are a quick and convenient solution for those people who want to use the sustainable technologies in their house construction and at the same time receive the final result quickly with no compromise to quality. It's real - the continuous development and improvement of scientific technologies lead to the emergence of new materials for the construction. The name of these materials are SIP panels, also known as sandwich panels..
Abbreviation SIP stands for Structural Insulated Panel and is thermally insulated structural panels (Gillott, Rodrigues and Spataru, 2010). What is the essence? These panels have a number of advantages compared with other materials:
installation of SIP panels increases the thermal protection of home by 1.5 times;
use of this material by several times simplifies and accelerates the process of building a house;
sandwich panels many times increase and strengthen the stability of the supporting structure of home;

SIP panels are not prone to deformation as compared with other materials;

in the construction, there are significantly reduced costs of materials of the frame, as part of the load takes SIP panel;
this material is environmentally friendly.
Thus, the home of these panels is an accommodation that meets all quality characteristics of thermal insulation, resistance to the environment and eco-friendly materials.
SIP panel is a moisture-proof plate of two interconnected layers of solid polystyrene (McIntosh and Guthrie, 2008). This design, contrary to fears, is safe in case of fire. Despite used OSB panels compared with particleboard panels, they are not the same. Initially, the development of this kind of material emphasizes on durability, efficiency and environmental performance, so in the design of SIP panels, there is used a very small fraction of chemical compounds, and there is possible evaporation and isolation during their operation reduced to almost zero (Chuck, 2011).
