- ICE Panels and SIP Panels share some distinct similarities, but there are also some significant differences between the two as well. Follow along as we compare these two building products and discuss why ICE Panels are the better option for achieving peak energy efficiency.

I got the GSBP ICE in our build. It was a warm winter
Wood will last just as long as steel as long as the house is built properly and moisture doesn't get in. Since so many passive houses are built with sips, the thermal bridging is not an issue. This video is industry talk designed to sell you a product, not educate you. Not that this is a bad product (compared to traditional building its probably great), but it's basically another SIPS panel.
The ICE Panel may be similar to a SIP's product, however it functions quite differently. There is no thermal bridging which will reduce/stop moisture and condensations issues are eliminated. In any building method, it is good to use basic building practices to make sure this won't occur. There are other benefits to consider with the ICE Panels such as R-value, shorter build times, air tightness and less waste on site.
@@GreenstoneBuildingProducts all of the benefits you're describing are essentially the same as SIPS. You have a continuous insulative layer with high r value and no thermal bridging. This is able to provide an airtight shell for the house (when installed correctly). Rather than an outside layer of OSB or CLT, you have steel. There may be a structural advantage to this over OSB, but I'm sure there's also a price difference too.
@@grantcrawford823 Many sips have wood frame inside to carry load down - so often can have bridging. Other SIPS can accept a SIP Spline but not all actually have continuous insulation.
This is a somewhat dishonest video
If wood is so bad, why do I see wood trusses and floor decking? How do you modify the ICE panel? All means and methods will require some modification.
ICE Panels are prefabricated in our manufacturing plant, so no onsite modifications are needed. Feel free to call 204-726-1426 with any other questions. Thanks!
@@GreenstoneBuildingProducts I don't believe you addressed my comment or question. Why use wood trusses? Heat rises.
Is this the same panels that Thermasteel is promoting?
Hey there! No, these are ICE Panels produced in Brandon, MB. Thermasteel is a similar product to ours but produced in the US.
Always like to hear about new technology but don't like it when it comes with biased information about the competition. This seemed more like watching a USA political ad. Sorry.
There is nothing new here . ICE panels have been on the market since 1970 and now they will prevail anything on a market due to labor shortage
In my view as a property owner in a neighborhood with frequent gun violence, is that ICFs are bulletproof and SIPs are not. I may use SIPs for the roof though.
Who the f.. wants to build houses in that area?
@@andreycham4797 So far it only happens at night. With a bulletproof house it becomes less of a concern.
