Commercial Application
updated 12 Apr 2011
The single sided roofing panel can rectify this problem by being retrofitted straight over the existing roof, encapsulating it with no further condensation there will be no further deterioration of the existing roof, the Insulating properties of the single sided roof panel mean that cooling costs with be effectively significantly reduced
and will continue to do so for over 50 years without a reduction in performance,
the panel also adds fire protection as well as increasing the structural
rigidity of the roof.
Mining and Remote areas:
A major issue faced by
mining companies at present is the cost and availability of housing in remote
areas; Ecohousing has addressed this need with their affordable
multi-living solution. Below is an example of a residence that would suit
a mining site, it is a 10 bedroom, 4 bathrooms with 2 large living areas and
kitchen as well as a generous deck.
The Ecohousing is well suited for commercial
application. As far as Ecohousing is aware our product is the
only Structural Insulated Panels (SIP’s) to have undergone the ABCA required low-high- low cyclone testing and passed without breaking or delaminating.
Shopping Centres, Schools & Public Halls, Warehouses and Industrial Sheds;
The building system
integrates well with modern building methods, for example in large shopping
centres or warehouses the roof panel system can be used to replace current
roofing solutions.

This has the advantage that using the system is quick and easy and
at the same time due to the nature of the panels insulation is installed, this
reduces the high labour cost of having to lay insulation and then the roof,
there is also no need for trusses as the roof panel is completely structural.
Another major advantage is that the panel’s offers high fire protection,
potentially saving millions of dollars damage in a fire
situation.
Another cost effective advantage to existing large warehouses,
shopping centres and industrial sheds is the split roofing system, to retrofit the external roofs and walls (without removing existing roof and wall panels), with “the single sided roofing panel with flat structural polyurethane rigid foam underside.” .With the cost of electricity increasing rapidly, this will be a major cost saving, and with climate change now a major concern with many
governments calling for large corporations to reduce their carbon footprint.
Many of the current warehouses, shopping centres and industrial sheds are
classed as energy deficient buildings with the minimal insulation that was
installed long ago deteriorated and no longer effective, now costing tens of
thousands of dollars a year to cool and leaving a large carbon
footprint.

This residence has the advantage that it is arrives on site and is
ready to assemble with unskilled labour, it can be erected much faster than
conventional buildings all done at the fraction of the cost with the highlight
that accommodation is fully insulated, extremely comfortable in hot or cold
climates with generous rooms for staff. Also available for mining companies that
have a high demand for accommodation a portable manufacturing plant is
available, to learn more click here.
