Re: Use of Structural Insulated Panels 94Nov 15, 2013 3:49 pm Hi, I have attached a link for anyone who may care of the bushfire zones. http://services.land.vic.gov.au/maps/bushfire.jsp As for the previous post, I should have clarified. In most areas that people will consider building with SIP's you would be required to meet at east BAL19. And yes all properties, not areas require a bushfire assessment and will have independent BAL ratings. In the interest of being fair I will also post the follow up email I received from Gavin George. Shaun good morning, We currently have BAL ratings up to BAL 19. Hope this helps. Regards, Gavin George Sales Consultant - Bondor I think I will run with the ICF option, not as convenient as the SIP but can get the fire rating rather easily. Thanks all for your feedback. Cheers Shaun Re: Use of Structural Insulated Panels 95Feb 04, 2014 4:53 pm Hi all. New guys, and perhaps a little late to the party. We're wanting to build 3 x 2 storey townhouses using Bondor in Eltham, Vic. Originally I looked at concrete tilt-panels (20+ years experience as a concretor) until we came across a show on TV featuring steel SIPs in QLD (I think). We were a little skeptical about "coolroom" houses- but once we saw the finished products, we were sold. This will be our first owner-builder job, but I'm not entirely green to construction and dealing with planning departments. I am expecting that dealing with Nillumbik Shire with a new-ish construction method will be an "experience". Anyone got an SIP build going in Nillumbik? Would like to pick an experienced brain Dave Re: Use of Structural Insulated Panels 97Apr 16, 2014 2:09 am Anyone had experience with SIPS in Perth?? Looking at building single story 3x2 Rockingham area. Found Bondor, Owner builder systems, sips industries. All with different Facing metal, concrete fibre, OSB. seems easier with at least part finished panels rather than cladding both sides. HHmmmm keep looking. Re: Use of Structural Insulated Panels 98Apr 17, 2014 11:35 am If I could owner build I'd use SIPs industries but mainly because they were recommended by the supplier of our OSB SIPs for our UK self build.
