FAQs

  • Structural insulated panels (SIPs) are highly insulated prefabricated panels used in a variety of building applications. SIPs panels are made by injecting a dense PUR (Polyurethane) foam between two 15mm External OSB/3 boards. a SIPs panel can therefore be used in floors, walls and roof systems for residential and commercial buildings.

  • Due to the prefabricated nature of SIPs panels, the erection time is considerably less when compared to other building methods. With the panels being available in lengths up to 6.0m we can erect whole roof systems with minimal lifts, further reducing erection times. Owing to reduced erection time, internal and external trades can commence work simultaneously. Although SIP panels may not be the cheapest construction method, there are huge decreases in construction times and therefore reduced labour costs. number of factors. As every job is different, we price up projects individually and itemise our quotes to explain the various costs involved.

    The cost of a SIPs build will depend on the area (m2) of the building, the complexity of the structure, and whether or not its a new build, extension or conversion.

  • SIPs panels are one of the most environmentally responsible building systems available. With the current pressure to build more environmentally friendly housing with reduced energy costs, SIPs are an efficient solution. With an extremely airtight and highly insulated structure, the requirement to heat your home is significantly reduced.

  • 60+ years if installed correctly.

    Our accredited supplier of SIPs panels source sustainable materials of the highest quality. Provided the installation remains weathertight and damp proof, a life of at least 60 years can be expected.

  • No.

    SIPs panels can be used in most applications of building. Extensions, garden rooms, garages, studios and loft conversion are all possible to be made from SIPs.
