Are there any other SIPs manufacturing companys that offer pre installed electrical conduit and boxes, besides "Thermocore"?

I think all manufacturers offer some type of electrical chases, depending on the type of foam they use. Most EPS panels have a simple chase that is cut into the foam. Then you cut in your box where ever you want to locate it.

Stonelake,

Like Wes stated, most SIP manufacturers provide electrical chases based on your layout. Enercept Building Systems will also install conduit & boxes if requested. There is a slight increase in cost for this however. Feel free to give us a call if you have any questions or concerns.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am from family, who wants to build a SIP-panels house. Hope you would assist in some of our current issues.

Here they are:

1) We would like to do electrical wiring - hidden electrical wiring. What if we make hidden wiring with gypsum board interior? If OSB's thickness is 12 mm, after OSB there is polystyrene foam in the panel. Should we just deepen it and set wire directly in the foam? Isn't it dangerous regarding fire safety? Or how should we do this?

Also, when we make wire directly in the foam, thus, we reduce insulating layer, deleting foam to install outlets. What about reduction of insulating properties in that case?

If we make wallpaper interior - then what should electrical wiring be like?



Hope you would assist in these questions and provide some specific information about wiring.

Thank you very much in advance,

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Rachel.

Rachel;

you can create a 1-1/2" space with furring strips wood or / steel and by using a 4" x 4" x 1-1/2" deep box would eliminate the need to penetrate the  panel in most cases.

Wall paper goes over the drywall not directly to OSB
