Frequently asked questions

A SIP panel is a monolithic structure: the OSB acts as the load-bearing layer and the polystyrene as a rigid core. The panel withstands loads of up to 1.5 tonnes per m² and holds up to wind, snow load, and seismic movement.

Mold and condensation come from assembly mistakes and poor ventilation, not the material itself. We seal every panel joint and offer ventilation solutions, including heat-recovery units — follow a few simple care rules and moisture won't be an issue.

We use self-extinguishing polystyrene, and the panel is protected on both sides by OSB boards and the finish — an open flame doesn't reach the insulation directly. We also build in fire-safety measures: wiring in protected conduits and fire-resistant materials indoors.

Assembled correctly and protected from moisture, a SIP house lasts 50 years or more — panels don't settle, crack, or lose their insulating performance over decades. We use an adhesive that stays flexible for the panel's full lifespan and prevents delamination.

A 150 mm SIP wall has thermal conductivity comparable to a brick wall over 2 metres thick. That means heating savings of up to 60% — and in summer, many clients don't need air conditioning at all: airing the house out at night is enough.

Panels are manufactured ahead of time at the factory, so the site work is just assembly — no "wet" processes like concrete or plaster, so building can continue year-round. The shell goes up in 2–4 weeks, and the whole cycle — from deposit and ready permits to the keys — takes about 3 months. With a lighter foundation, fewer work stages, and heating savings, a SIP house ends up costing no more, and often less, than a block or timber-frame house of the same quality.

The panel itself damps impact noise well. For airborne sound between rooms we use stud partitions with mineral wool and insulate the floors — that keeps the house comfortable for everyday living.

All materials are certified: the polystyrene is inert and doesn't release harmful substances inside a closed panel, and the OSB's formaldehyde level stays within European norms (E0–E1).

Yes, across Romania and within the EU. The Baia Mare factory is about 70 km from the Hungarian border; for sites abroad we offer either a full assembly team or a supervising engineer plus a local crew — agreed in the offer.

Transport is quoted in the offer based on the distance between Baia Mare and your plot; it is not part of the per-m² price. Panels leave the factory labelled and stacked in assembly order.

Our own crews, not occasional subcontractors. Kit production takes 2–4 weeks from order confirmation; the structure goes up on the foundation in a few days, and a turnkey house is ready in up to 3 months.

We give a warranty on the load-bearing structure and the thermal insulation; the exact term is set in the contract at the consultation. The house's 50+ year lifespan depends on correct assembly and designed ventilation — which is why we do both ourselves.
