What this video covers
The construction of the Casa Pi project transitions from laying ecological bricks to installing a roof structure.3:18 The team utilizes a combination of a concrete slab over the bathroom area to support water tanks and a sandwich-panel roof for the remainder of the house.0:47 These sandwich panels consist of a PIR (polyisocyanurate) foam core sandwiched between two sheets of Galvalume steel, providing thermal and acoustic insulation while serving as the finished interior ceiling.4:03 The panels are custom-ordered in lengths up to 12 meters to minimize joints and potential leaks.6:09 While the panels offer significant functional benefits, they are heavy to maneuver and carry a higher initial cost than traditional ceramic tiles.6:09 The installation process faced logistical delays and quality control issues with the metal trim components, which arrived incorrectly sized and showed premature signs of rust.9:55 Despite these setbacks, the roof provides immediate protection for the unsealed ecological bricks during the rainy season.7:42
