Installation components

Walls
Using the innovative MIB Structural Homes Structural Insulated Panel, the walls are installed within a track on top of the slab. All walls including the gable ends and internal structural walls are constructed from MIB Structural Homes Panels which are all pre-cut in the factory, taking away all site waste. The structural panels can be built up to 2.7m high panel height and up to 3 storeys high.

Floors
Are of a traditional construction but due to off site machining, provide safety, quality and reduced waste. Beam and block floors or concrete floors can also be used.

Roofs
Are of traditional trussed construction: felt and battened cold roof.
The option of a warm roof is available to comply with the roof insulation requirement contained within the Code For Sustainable Housing.

FSC timber/double glazed windows and doors
Triple glazed and or aluminium clad options are available to ensure low maintenance, energy efficiency and sound reduction.

Any traditional exterior finishes
Are then applied which include insulated render systems, timber cladding, brickwork or any rainscreen as required.

Fascias soffits and bargeboards

Scaffolding
Is supplied and erected by MIB Structural Homes.

Rubber EPDM
Is fitted to all formed openings within the walls, giving the contractor and client ‘belt and braces’ weather proofing details for peace of mind.

Just think, your budget is unaffected by cost

You’ve boxed off your risk by placing your order in one lump sum.
Reducing your risk and exposure.
You save money by reducing the time spent on site and the prelims.
You reduce waste and the cost of skips.
Your site is cleaner, easier to manage and safer.
And on top of that you’ve done your bit to save the planet.

Once the structure is complete, the internal Mechanical and Electrical can start. Face fixed to the inside of the MIB Structural Panel cables and 10mm radiator pipes can be installed between 18mm OSB battens. Then 12.5mm thick plasterboard is installed concealing the services.

When the MIB Structural Homes package is compared to a traditional house structure, where both need to meet current U values, our house compares competitively on cost. This is before the contractor/client considers the financial savings of a shorter time period on site and reduced waste generated (costs of skips).

A three quarter reduction in the programme period has been achieved on a Balfour Beatty hospital contract through the use of pre-formed panels.The panels have produced a cost saving of 25%, compared with the use of using brick and blockwork, on top of thousands of pounds saved on preliminaries.
