  • The concept of insulated panels has previously been used in commercial building projects only. Bondor has now developed an insulated panel InsulWall® specifically for residential applications. Together with the already popular roofing product SolarSpan®, InsulWall® is expected to revolutionise Australian housing design and construction.
    Australia's new 6-Star Energy Efficiency requirement for new homes will demand significant advancements in the choice of materials for Australian residential construction practices.
    Insulated Construction Australia will demonstrate how uncomplicated the system can be to build an aesthetically pleasing home that meets and exceeds thermal performance requirements. Using technology that enables people to save on future energy bills by providing an affordable energy efficient family home of the future which requires significantly less construction time.

    Used a similar product in Emerald , western Queensland, external walls where 140mm and internal where 90 mm and every 2.4 metres we had a 100mm square post that that was chemset and bolted down , we had to house out the panels where their were posts so our panels could slip around the inside and outside to hide the post , this was for category 5 cyclone rating, once all the walls where up the tops of the wall panels had to have a rebate at the top only on the outside for a continuous 100mm square box section that would run the entire perimeter as a beam and welded to the tops of the post , the inside was left alone , then the ceiling panels would be fitted and screwed to the ring beam , then we would mark out all the trusses and stand and screw the sealing down to the sealing panels and that would hold the ceilings up , all electrical and would be done by heating a metal rod and pushing it down through the wall cavities for lights or chased into the walls by cutting a channel into the wall where they where required, roofing iron was fitted and facia and gutters and associated down pipes and other plumbing, similar to this product the internal walls where plastered and external walls rendered, all up we could have the house built to lockup in two days and completely finished inside and out, fully landscaped and fenced in five days and hand over the keys, these houses are super strong because of the steel the steel posts and ring beam that tied it all to the concrete foundation.

      Jordan Johnson the walls contain styrophoam which is basically air. So it resists the outer heat. It breaks with ease but the formwork and all the stuff around it makes it pretty robust. I would rather recommend reinforced concrete but this way is fine too as long as no hurricane appears or no car randomly drives through.

    Couple quick questions out of interest (though I'm sure the technology behind these has improved since 2011):

    I have stood inside the display house in Wallan, Victoria, Australia. The house is exposed to the wind on top of a hill. It's a two story house. I checked every square centremetre for cracks and did not find one. The house has been there for a while. the walls are held In two steel channels one on the top and one on the bottom. Overall it felt very well made and strong. No wood means no cellulose for termites to eat. We have termites here that eat wooden frame houses and I am concerned that the termites are becoming more resistant to the chemicals used to control them and humans less so. The chemical barriers can easily be damaged and breached by termites. This is main reason that I am choosing this building system. The house also has a 9 star energy rating which is three stars higher than the current requirement in Victoria Building Code which means that it will cost less to heat and cool over the life of the building.

    • @Queer_Nerd_For_Human_Justice

    No question, in fact the local building inspector gave me all sorts of grief. The ac contractors refused the work unless I installed three times as much as I calculated. Finally I had to sign a waver with an out of town contractor. 1700 square feet of house with ten foot ceiling and Fourteen foot cathedral ceilings living and dining one and one half ton reverse cycle ac.
    Never a problem house stays 71 degrees year round . Cheap to keep, seriously the extra cost of building has already been repaid. Mostly I wanted a super insulated home so I could use a small solar system. Back then panels were much,ore expensive.

    It would almost be better of they turned the comments off on this video. There are so many people who are clueless about construction. Have you ever built something? I've built garages, additions and barns and when a structure gets attached together it becomes very strong. Give them some credit for something that uses less (or no) wood (which has a life span) and trying something different. People are so stupid, I get tired of seeing their ignorance all over the web. As for the video, very informative!

      +Kimberly Patton insulation panels costs a heck alot more than conventional brick and mortar.. but you save on labor costs, shorter construction period, get a perfectly fitted house and minimal wastage.
      Australian winds is amongst the highest in the world. Rest assured, your house will be safe and secured.

    • @CorollaNut68
      @CorollaNut68 8 років тому +22

      +Adam Newbloom Yep, you tie it all together...it's as strong as the weakest part...which would be those tiny drywall screws holding the entire house together especially at the floor....then all your plumbing and wiring seems like it has to be OUTSIDE the walls.
      Sure it looks like it saves time and money now but should you have major storms or flooding it's going to float away. Lets not start building throwaway houses like we do cars and everything else.

    There are allot of people commenting on this video that have no idea of construction or the building industry. This is in Australia
    and in the suburbs somewhere, in saying that would have to conform to strict building codes that would have to be passed by engineers.Because all the panels interlock it would be very strong and the insulation properties would be almost perfect, it's good to see the building industry is still advancing and getting better.

  • @davidrobinson1137
    @davidrobinson1137 4 роки тому +5

    Interesting presentation, however there are important aspects of building performance that must be considered - for example the metal perimeter channel into which the panels are slotted and fixed creates a direct thermal bridge between the exterior and the interior (cold bridge). The conductivity of the cold bridge is amplified by connection to the concrete slab. A similar top channel is also a thermal bridge and both top and bottom of wall may promote internal condensation at metal internal moist air interface. Mechanical air exchange is also likely to be required in this system owing to lack of vapour permeability of the assembly.

    • @NDcompetitiveshooter
      @NDcompetitiveshooter 2 роки тому +1

      If the slab on grade foundation is completely insulated, do you see a potential detail solution for those bridges? Perhaps adhering additional EPS foam boards in those areas to keep the metal inside the envelope and make it part of the look?

Do people really need to be spoon feed every detail in a short UA-cam video? They do have a website, it is not really that hard to go to it and look for more information on their products. You can, also, ask them questions there, if you can not find what you were concerned about.

    Back in 1984 We built a house in cabo San Lucas, baca California using 4'X8'X6" foam panels. We used concrete for footings, columns and headers, strung tension cables across ceiling areas. We stood up the foam for the walls, and laid them down for the roof/ceiling. Glueing them all together at the seams, then we wrapped the entire house inside and out with stucco mesh and paper, brown coated and color coated. All the Mexican workers thought we were nuts and kept telling us it would last. It is still there in perfectly good condition, has survived hurricanes, storms, the only maintenance it's needed was refinishing the wood Windows and doors. In 1984 there weren't styrofoam construction panels we just used raw blanks

    Omg.. I never comment but just had to after reading all the clueless people who have commented previously.
    First the panels come several different ways. Most are steel on both sides with foam in middle. The ones most use have steel on outside already coloured and can come with different profiles to give the look you want without having to paint or plaster (this video is older basic panels)
    The ceiling in the video show the finished unpainted face if the roofing which is steel. You can hang ceiling fans off it without having to find a rafter.
    You ever tried punching a hole in a steel roof. These panels are strong. Do some research see the spans, wind loads etc that these handle. They are cyclone rated for the top end of Australia where we get cat 5 storms. Look on youtube for cyclone videos and you always see steel roofs peeling off in high wind. These bonded panels are way stronger and don't peel in a storm. This type of panel is used on refrigerated trucks and you can't karate chop them and they handle high wind loads at speed.
    They have different ways of doing wiring and plumbing. Most panels come with conduit at various levels, like power point height and light switch height. Wiring can run up or down and yes you can do down lights or anything you can in a normal house.
    Keep in mind a normal brick house you build a frame they do ply bracing just to get it rigid. These panels are like frames braced both sides by plywood but instead of just bracing corners of a house the whole house is braced by these panels. Each panel is like a large cyclone bolt.
    Yes they should of showed wiring and plumbing, and yes they should of showed the actual bolts holding the frame to the concrete slab and shown the number of screws really used to fix top and bottom plate.
    But seriously guys this is fast to build. They actually seem expensive at first but seeing as you not employing so many builders and don't have to frame, then clad, then line the inside these are awesome.

      +I'M_YOUR_TROLL You forget this is an 'Engineered" structure and is not a stick structure. The design and installation would have to meet all the local building codes which vary from state to state, county to county and city to city. All building codes were originally based on wood, masonry, steel and concrete construction. As new technology comes along each inspection agency has to approve before it is built. In Arizona there are houses built of tires, dirt and foam to name a few. Michigan I have been in homes built of light weight concrete mixed with foam.

      Looking at a wind speed design guide for reference, you can see that with the shortest spans these things can withstand up to 111 MPH winds:
      www.stratco.com.au/custom/files/docs/Brochures/Wind%20Speed%20Design%20Guide%20(1).pdf
      I would be comfortable building to those standards if I weren't directly on (or near) the coast. Should be sufficient inland.
