All this can lead developers to a dead end when they are faced with a choice - a metal tile or a soft roof

Construction based on the principles of frame-modular assembly has long established itself in the Russian market. And if in the early years, back in the 1990s, the technique was not only far from perfection, but even from classical analogous methods, today the situation is completely different. In many ways, SIP panels helped to raise its level

According to experts, about 15% of heat can escape through the roof and attic space of a residential building, even with basic insulation. If you do not use insulation at all, then the remaining cold bridges in winter will neutralize the effect of the heating systems.
