SIPs are used all over the world because of their superior strength and quality build. Homes and commercial buildings that use this innovative technology have survived hurricanes, earthquakes and tornados, when other buildings around have not. In the UK SIPs are more than capable of withstanding climate extremes as well as maintaining their strength throughout the years and providing a safe and secure living environment.
Benefits of SIPs
Environmentally Friendly
SIP timbers are used from a sustainable source and are made with an ODP zero insulated core.
Speed
Quick installation is made possible by using large pre-fabricated units. Envelope completion allows following trades to start earlier.
Strong and Lightweight
Rationalise foundation design. Nature of the panels means open spaces can be constructed without the need for additional framing.
Rooms within Roofs
Fully utilise the roof space of buildings with the long span capabilities of SIPs.
Defects and Shrinkage
Buildings made in factory conditions helps reduce defects. Comparable to timber frame construction shrinkage and subsequent making good is minimal.
Minimal Waste & Maximum Recyclability
All panels cut to length and apertures formed in the factory result in minimal site waste. Off cuts from engineered panels in our workshop can be recycled.
Keep your energy for longer
Highly insulated buildings with minimal thermal bridging air leakage.
External finishes
Many external finishes can be applied to SIPs. From render, rainscreen and weatherboards to brick slips, tiles or conventional brick outer skin. All can be applied off the critical path of the overall project duration.
