What are SIPs?

SIPs are structural insulated panels used to construct buildings. SIPs have been used extensively in the USA over the past 50 years but are now becoming a popular choice in the UK for timber-based construction.

SIPs are environmentally friendly and ecologically sound. SIPs are the innovative building construction method of the twenty first century allowing the rapid deployment of buildings for domestic and commercial use.

Schools, hotels and retail developments are realising the benefits SIPs can bring to a project, we are providing SIP solutions for buildings reducing or in some cases eliminating the need for a structural frame using the inherent strengths a SIP can provide. This can be done on site in the traditional manner or off site providing quicker system build techniques.

These Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) solutions are becoming increasingly popular on time sensitive projects.
