One of the disadvantages of houses made of SIP panels is poor ventilation. It is evidenced by condensation on the windows, mold and dampness in the corners.
The task of ventilation in a self-supporting insulated wire
This is a high-quality air exchange, without a draft. A few years ago, ventilation of a house from SIP panels was equipped with natural draft, air conditioning, today this technology is considered outdated and ineffective.
Natural cravings do not pay off if the house is below 3 floors. According to the laws of physics, for good thrust, a significant difference in altitude is required. But SIP houses are not erected above two floors. The intensity of traction with a natural ventilation system is influenced by the air temperature outside, the lower it is, the better the system works. And one more significant drawback - in winter, a lot of heat is blown out of the house with the current of air.
Exhaust forced ventilation of a house made of SIP panels is devoid of the first two drawbacks, but it also intensively blows heat out of the house. Plus, the exhaust fans are noisy and consume a lot of electricity.
The value of ventilation in houses from SIP panels
Despite the fact that SIP panels are absolutely harmless to human health, ventilation in a SIP house is needed. The developer assembles the house together with the ventilation system. The warranty for the structure is 5-10 years, it also applies to all engineering units.
Often, houses are only equipped with exhaust fans in the kitchen, toilet and bathroom, which expel air through pipes to the outside.
But, according to some experts, such ventilation is not enough. Therefore, forced ventilation is proposed inlet-blowing. The scheme of its operation is simple and effective: pulling exhaust air from the room, the system filters it, adds fresh air from the street and brings it back into the house. The house is constantly kept at the same temperature. The price of the system together with installation is about 2 thousand US dollars. Filters need to be changed from time to time. However, if you calculate how much it will cost to repair the building frame, then the installation price does not seem so high.
Installation of ventilation in SIP houses
Installing high-quality ventilation in SIP houses will significantly extend the life of the building. Condensation often collects on metal-framed entrance doors. You can prevent the accumulation of condensation by installing an additional door made of wood or by attaching a small vestibule with an area of about two square meters to the outside of the house.
