Find Out Why Modhaven Builds With SIPs
Read our blog on how structural insulated panels (SIPs) provide improved earthquake building standards in NZ, leaving you and your family with a safer home.
Using SIPs in the home has multiple benefits over traditional construction methods, including time-saving, energy efficiency, strength and many more. Not only are they beneficial in construction, but also the use of SIPs offers several benefits when it comes to withstanding damage in the event of an earthquake. This blog will explore why SIPs provide superior strength for earthquake-prone areas.

Strong and Durable Building Material
Highly Ductile and Flexible


The Use of SIPs in New Zealand
A New Zealand study found that SIPs building systems provided suitable energy dissipation, ductility, strength and stiffness – enabling them to observe less damage during testing in comparison to traditional building construction methods.
Overall, SIPs are a recommended material when building an earthquake-resistant structure. In comparison to traditional materials, SIPs provide superior strength, durability and ductility.
