Améliore l'efficacité sur le chantier avec une solution haute performance

Les trois plus grandes charges financières pour bâtir une maison sont le coût du terrain, des matériaux et de la main-d'œuvre. En ce qui concerne le coût de la main-d'œuvre pour bâtir une maison, il est de plus en plus difficile d'assurer une grande efficacité sur le chantier puisque les talentueux baby-boomers professionnels de la construction prennent leur retraite. Une façon d'assurer l'efficacité est d'utiliser des produits de construction de grande qualité qui produisent des résultats durables et qui sont faciles à installer.

What's a high-performance building product? Think of products that will eliminate steps in the installation process or use familiar installation practices yet provide an additional feature or benefit.

Here are a few examples:

Parements et moulures LP® SmartSide®

Joe Nitti, co-owner of Nitti Development in the Chicago area, says that his crews have saved time and labor thanks to the workability of LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding products. “They're light, so it's easy for the guys to lift and install them,” he says.

Système contre l'infiltration d'air et d'Eau LP WeatherLogic®

“You can keep jobsite efficiency high with an air and water barrier system that installs in one step without having to bring in a separate crew the next day to apply house wrap,” says LP field tech Juan Urquiza. “In many cases, the house wrap crew comes from a different city. When you use LP's new air and water barrier solution, you eliminate the wait time and expense of paying a specialty crew.”

Support de revêtement de sol haut de gamme LP Legacy®

On sub-flooring jobs, efficiency decreases when the crew must sand sub-flooring that's been exposed to rain for a number of months during a build. But sub-flooring manufacturers keep making giant strides in moisture resistance. Some sub-flooring products offer 100- and even 200-day no-sand warranties, but LP Legacy® sub-flooring now comes with a Covered Until It's Covered® no-sand warranty.

Anti-rayonnement LP® TechShield®

It requires no additional skills or training for crews to install a radiant barrier in the roof, yet the long-term results of a radiant barrier surpass that of conventional roof sheathing. LP TechShield radiant barrier blocks up to 97 % of the radiant heat in the roof panel from emitting into a home's attic, reducing an attic's temperature by up to 30° F and helping curb cooling costs. Using this product in place of conventional sheathing may help builders qualify for Green Building credits, energy rebates and lower HERS scores.

Panneaux de revêtement cotés pour leur résistance au feu LP® FlameBlock®

Installing shaft wall can be an efficiency-killer for less experienced crews. As an alternative to shaft wall, some construction companies are now switching to assemblies that use fire-rated OSB sheathing. They're lighter and less cumbersome than shaft wall so they can be installed faster.

High-performance building solutions are helping construction teams maintain peak efficiency in this period when their most highly skilled employees are getting replaced by junior ones.
