Understanding Wall Systems and Custom Finishes for Concrete Insulated Panels
In this video, we explore the structure and benefits of the wall systems in Concrete Insulated Panel (CIP) construction. We explain how Nevada pins and Pultruded fiberglass ties create a strong connection between the outer veneer and the structural concrete layers, eliminating thermal bridging and enhancing energy efficiency. Learn about the different insulation options, rebar grid layouts, and materials like Remesh and poly fiber mesh that reinforce the panels. We also discuss the wide range of interior and exterior finish possibilities, from smooth epoxy surfaces to etched concrete and custom graphic art, giving your home a unique and durable look.

Transportation and Installation of Concrete Insulated Panels: On-Site vs. Off-Site Methods
Переглядів 1212 годин тому
In this video, we discuss the logistics of transporting and installing concrete insulated panels for building projects. The ideal approach is to bring all equipment to the site and use the tilt-up method, which allows for on-site adjustments and minimizes the handling of panels. We also cover the option of building panels off-site and transporting them, though this adds cost and increases the r...
Edge Lift vs. Face Lift: Panel Lifting Techniques in Concrete Construction
Переглядів 1116 годин тому
In this video, we break down the two primary methods for lifting concrete panels in construction: edge lift and face lift. Learn how edge lift anchors, hidden in the top of the panel, offer a faster, more efficient installation by hanging the panel plumb. We also cover face lifts, commonly used for two-story buildings, where the lifting points are visible in the finished wall. Discover how each...
Choosing the Right Insulation for Concrete Insulated Panel Homes
Переглядів 23814 днів тому
In this video, we explore the various insulation options for Concrete Insulated Panel (CIP) homes, focusing on EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) and XPS (Extruded Polystyrene). We explain the cost, R-value, and long-term performance of each, highlighting why EPS is our go-to for its cost-effectiveness and versatility. Learn how water absorption can degrade XPS over time and why EPS's open-cell structu...
How Thermal Mass Enhances Energy Efficiency in CIP Homes
Переглядів 26428 днів тому
In this video, we explore the benefits of thermal mass in Concrete Insulated Panel (CIP) homes. Learn how the concrete within the insulated envelope absorbs heat during the day and releases it at night, helping to regulate temperatures and improve energy efficiency. By utilizing passive solar design, homeowners can delay the need for heating by up to six weeks in the winter. We also discuss how...
Slab-to-Wall Connection in Concrete Insulated Panel Systems
Переглядів 44Місяць тому
In this video, we explain the slab-to-wall connection process in concrete insulated panel systems. We demonstrate how threaded inserts are embedded into wet concrete, allowing for easy installation of threaded rebar later on. This method ensures a secure connection between the panel and the rebar grid in the slab, optimizing both strength and efficiency. Learn why pre-installing these threaded ...
Key Considerations for Footings and Panel Sizes in CIP Construction
Переглядів 12Місяць тому
Description: In this video, we discuss the critical relationship between footings, foundation walls, and panel sizes in Concrete Insulated Panel (CIP) construction. Learn why it's essential to account for the foundation wall when designing panels, as they sit directly on the footing and serve as part of the foundation. We explain how to ensure proper frost and footing depth by taking a minimum ...
Maximizing Efficiency in CIP Home Construction: Panel Sizes and Design Collaboration
Переглядів 22Місяць тому
In this video, we explore the importance of panel sizing and system-specific design in Concrete Insulated Panel (CIP) home construction. We discuss the maximum panel sizes we use, the reasons behind these dimensions, and the impact on crane logistics and costs. Learn why designing to the system-whether it's CIP, ICF, wood frame, or another material-is crucial for efficiency and cost-effectivene...
Insulating Footings and Slabs in Concrete Insulated Panel Homes
Переглядів 352 місяці тому
In this video, we explore the best practices for insulating footings and slabs in concrete insulated panel (CIP) homes. We discuss two effective methods: fully wrapping the footing with geofoam structural insulation and burying the footing deeper with side insulation. Learn why creating a continuous wrap of insulation from the footing to the walls is crucial for preventing heat loss and ensurin...
Efficient Plumbing Solutions for Concrete Insulated Panel Homes
Переглядів 302 місяці тому
In this video, we will discuss effective plumbing strategies for concrete insulated panel homes. It is important to keep the plumbing out of exterior walls. The best way to do this is to create a comprehensive plumbing plan as part of the pre-construction design. We routinely install the plumbing through internal walls, under slabs, or in crawl spaces. To prevent freezing, for hose bibs, we avo...

In this video, we discuss the essential aspects of planning and installing electrical outlets and lighting fixtures on the exterior of custom homes. We emphasize the importance of creating a detailed design before starting construction, allowing clients to visualize fixture placements using 3D model viewers. Learn how we run conduits through the insulation and structural layers of panels, and h...
Understanding Miter Corners and Finishes in CIP (Concrete Insulated Panel) Systems
Переглядів 632 місяці тому
Learn how we set up miter corners with a slim five mil chamfer and manage the expansion and contraction of the outer concrete layer. It's crucial to decouple the structural and veneer layers and how we achieve a smooth outer finish using an epoxy coat and sanding process. We also address common concerns such as cracking due to temperature fluctuations and offer solutions like cutting contractio...
