US Structural panel system - MGO SIP Panel
Katana House uses MGO SIP panel systems for its houses in US.
MGO SIP - Magnesium Oxide Board Structural Insulated Panel is a hurricane and earthquake resistant panel system that is water resistant, mold proof, fire resistant and withstands harsh climate conditions.
Our partnerships with various manufacturers have lead to choice of the best new systems that are the future of construction.
House panels are manufactured in 4x8ft or 4x10ft for wall systems and even longer for roof systems.
The system bypasses several conventional trades - our US panel system houses do not need typical framing, no internal framing, no additional insulation and no roof trusses. All of this is already integrated in the panels.
System is available for almost all climate zones and has proven itself to be the most energy efficient price efficient building method that not only gives savings in construction time but also provides cost effective green buildings with future in mind.

Key parameters
Storm Safe - Hurricane and Tornado safe up to 230 mph
Fire Resistant - MGO panels provide exceptional fire ratings, meaning they are non-combustible with a Class A1 fire rating.
Eco- Friendly - MGO panels contain no chemicals, VOC’s, formaldehyde, toxins, asbestos, or crystalline silica and are rated as Zero Off-Gassing as well as producing a Net-Negative Carbon Footprint
Resilient - MGO panels are mold and rot resistant as magnesium oxide does not feed mildew. They are also entirely resistant to insects and termites
Ultra fast installation - Panels go up over 50% faster than conventional construction, thus reducing time and labor.
Affordable maintenance - Our MGO SIP panel system creates super- thermally efficient structures with excellent R-Values up to R55. Massive heating/cooling energy savings up to 70%

What are Structural Insulated Panels?tructural insulated panels (SIPs) are high-performance building systems for residential and commercial construction. The panels consist of an insulating foam core sandwiched between two skins of structural sheathing, typically magnesium oxide board (MgO), oriented strand board (OSB), or steel. SIPs are manufactured under factory-controlled conditions and can be fabricated to fit nearly any building design. The result is a building system that is extremely strong, energy-efficient, and cost-effective.

Benefits building with SIPS
2. Healthier Air Quality A SIP home or commercial building allows better control over indoor air quality because the airtight building envelope limits incoming air to controlled ventilation which filters out contaminants and allergens. The SIP envelope doesn't have the voids or thermal bridging of conventional stick framing that can cause condensation, leading to hazardous mold, mildew, or rot. 3. Sustainability Credentials SIPs are highly energy-efficient and therefore contribute positively to the environment by reducing CO2 levels. They also use significantly less energy during the manufacturing process compared to traditional construction methods and have lower embodied energy than traditional construction materials, such as steel, concrete, and masonry. 4. Faster Construction with Less Labor SIP walls and roofs are designed and precisely manufactured offsite in the manufacturing facility. This allows the building to be assembled on-site quickly and made watertight in a matter of days. This reduces costs such as project management, scaffolding, framing labor, and much more. A BASF time-motion study confirmed that SIP panels reduce job site labor needs by 55%. 5.Design Flexibility SIPs can be engineered and fabricated to suit any building design, allowing architects and owners the flexibility and creative freedom to develop aesthetically pleasing spaces. |
