Fireproof Danu Wall

​

​SIP or (Structured Insulated Panel) homes are quickly becoming the wave of the future in home construction. Between the quicker construction times, energy savings and less waste in the manufacturing of SIPs this just might be what you are looking for.

 

Some of the benefits:

1. Faster Construction, Superior Workmanship

Danu Wall panels eliminate the need for framing, insulating and applying vapour barrier. Builders agree that panels dramatically improve on site construction quality and workmanship. Framing crews and insulation crews are no longer required. A single trade that can be trained in a matter of days can complete the entire building envelope with fewer tools. Shorter construction time brings financial benefits as well as reduced chance of material losses from the job site.

2.  Fire Resistant - Does not combust

 

 • Danu Wall is a non-combustible fire resistant sheathing material
• Has zero flame spread and zero smoke contribution (ASTM E- 84 test standard).
• Provides class A thermal barrier (Can/ULC S-124-M85 test standard)
• Is fire rated up to one and half hours (ASTM E-119 Can ULC S101- 04E test standard).
• Provides protection from both exterior to interior and interior to exterior.
• Can contain fire in a room or unit.

3.  Superior strength characteristics

​​

Danu Wall Panels are structurally stronger and straighter than a conventional stud frame structure. The EPS core provides rigidity and the DanuBoard outer skin provides tremendous tensile and compressive strength - tested by an internationally recognized testing organization. (ASTM E72-02 and ASTM E564-95 Test Standards). The result is a sound structure that is plumb, level, and impact resistant.

4.  Significant heating and cooling cost savings

 

Continuous EPS insulation creates a true R value (R19 and R27) that performs as consistently in laboratory conditions as it performs in real life conditions. Other walls can exhibit more than a 50% loss in R value performance due to settling insulation, pinching, and degradation. Up to 40% smaller HVAC system can be utilized.

5. Protect from mould growth and insect infestation

 

Danu Wall panels will not rot, mould or deteriorate. They are an effective rain screen. This prevents the "Sick Condo" or "Sick Building" problem of mould damage and the associated health hazards. Danuwall SIPS have no nutrients to feed mould or insects.

6. Environmentally responsible

 

Long term savings on energy consumption combined with a dramatic decrease in jobsite framing lumber waste, and the inert, non nutritive, highly stable, non poisonous nature of our panels make them an environmentally responsible choice. Energy effeciency reduces greenhouse gas emmissions that contribute to climate change.

7. Can reduce or eliminate the need for concrete*

 

  • Screw Pile Footings can be used to replace concrete footings.
• Basement slabs can be replaced by panel or PWF sleeper floors.
       *Subject to site conditions, architectural plans and engineering

8. Excellent for winter construction

  • No cribbing, curing, hoarding required for basement walls
• Panels install quickly
• Fast to lock up stage
• Inexpensive to heat while finishing
