Building Concepts builds Connecticut room additions with built‑in benefits.
Not only will you get the room addition of your dreams, but you will also get the
most environmentally responsible structure in the industry. As a homeowner, you’ll
further benefit by knowing you made the right choice for the right reasons.
Building with structural insulated panels (SIPs) has advantages that conventional
stick frame building can't compete with:
Eco‑Friendly Room Additions: By choosing our Green Room Systems
room addition construction you are helping to reduce the impact on our environment.
All Green Room Systems are built using SIPs which are the most eco‑friendly
building materials available.
From the growth of sustainable trees to a completed room addition, SIPs are an eco‑friendly
building material. SIP oriented strand boards (OSB) are made from fast‑growing,
renewable tree species such as pine, poplar, and aspen. These trees are harvested
from SFI‑certified, self‑regenerating forests or tree plantations.
During the manufacturing process, the EPS insulation is made without any CFCs, (chlorofluorocarbons)
or formaldehyde and all scrap EPS foam is recycled for reuse. Furthermore, there
is less job‑site waste because the SIPs that go into our room additions are
precut and prefabricated by the manufacturer. You simply can't build a better
room addition than an eco‑friendly room addition!
Energy Efficient Room Additions: Because of their ability to significantly
reduce heating and cooling loads, SIPs help reduce the consumption of fossil fuels.
Studies have proven that homes built with SIPs save over 60% in heating and cooling
costs in comparison to stick frame construction. It's quite possible that your
room addition will be the most energy efficient room in your house. By lowering
heating and cooling costs‑significantly lower than traditional construction‑your
room addition will do its part to help conserve our limited petroleum resources
and reliance on foreign oil while minimizing greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere.
Quieter Room Additions: The EPS insulation Green Room Systems is
an excellent sound barrier. Building Concepts can build a Green Room Systems room
addition onto your home where you can go to escape the noise of neighbors, traffic,
and even your teenager's music. Or better yet, have your noise locked into a
room and enjoy your own music as loud as you like. Either way, you’ll love the way
your room addition's walls absorb sound.
Healthier Room Additions: SIPs have been designed to maintain a
structure's indoor air quality. The naturally tight construction of a SIP shell
also helps reduce dust and allergens from penetrating the room. You'll be able
to breath easier in your beautiful new room.
No Stud Finder Needed: You'll have a easier time with interior
design when finding a place to support a nail for pictures, curtains, or cabinets
isn't a problem. You won't need a stud finder in this room addition since the
entire inside is sheathed with oriented strand board. Simply decide where you want
to nail or drill and skip searching for studs.
