A product of over 40 years of skiing experience and ski property ownership, this high-end development provides exceptional ‘green’ homes above the snow line for year-round appeal, not just for the ski season. Four houses will incorporate SIP (Structural Insulated Panels) in its design, which is both stylishly distinct and green – circulating hot air from the top of the building back to the bottom. With it high R values and low air leakage, this cleaner technology creates a greater level of thermal performance than traditional framed construction. It also features a (entry and egress in blizzard conditions for small children,) airlocks, drying rooms and storage areas.
- Which comes with many benefits:
- Versatility, panels can be customised to create different combinations.
- Integrated cladding, our panels deliver a fully joined cladding system.
- A range of finishes, our panels can be treated with a variety of paint or rendered finishes.
- 2.7m high ceilings as standard, 300mm higher than the standard 2.4m ceiling.
- 2.4m window head heights as standard, 300mm higher than the standard 2.1m, which enables more light in.
- 170mm thick, solid walls instead of the standard 90mm frames.
- Full height floor-to-ceiling internal doors for effective ventilation.
Structural insulated panels (SIPs) are a high performance building system for residential and light commercial construction. The panels consist of an insulating foam core sandwiched between two structural facings, typically oriented strand board (OSB). SIPs are manufactured under factory controlled conditions and can be fabricated to fit nearly any building design. The result is a building system that is extremely strong, energy efficient and cost effective. Building with SIPs will save you time, money and labor.
