Versatility For Architects
SIPs (Structurally Insulated Panel) construction is a modern and eco-friendly building solution that delivers exceptional quality within a significantly reduced construction programme. With a low environmental impact, minimal waste, and factory-produced panels, SIPs ensure projects achieve outstanding levels of quality and energy efficiency.
​
SIPs construction offers distinct advantages over traditional and modular methods, providing a cutting-edge alternative for contemporary building projects.
​
A SIPs building is assembled using pre-manufactured timber wall panels, produced in a controlled factory environment. These panels consist of structural-grade timber sheeting and joists, filled with high-performance foam insulation. This process creates completely airtight sections that form the external fabric of the building, ensuring superior energy efficiency.
The pre-formed panels are delivered to site and erected on top a traditional concrete ground floor slab. This process is remarkably quick, with the superstructure often completed in days rather than weeks.
​
Once the superstructure is in place, internal and external works can proceed simultaneously. This contrasts with traditional building methods, significantly reducing the overall construction timeline.
​
Despite the rapid build time, the final internal and external finishes of a SIPs building meet the same high standards of quality and aesthetics as traditional construction. The design life of a SIPs structure is equivalent to that of a conventional build, while the controlled manufacturing process eliminates thermal breaks, resulting in energy performance that surpasses all conventional building systems.
