Construction Professionals and SIPS

Today’s legislation and trend to eco-friendly building construction methods have forced construction professionals to look beyond the traditional materials and techniques of the past. Structural Insulated Panel Systems provide a new and exciting solution to the problems of thermal loss through cold bridging and air leakage.

The main benefit of SIPs over other panelised forms of construction is the limited quantity of thermal bridges needed, such as studs and noggins. For building regulations, when calculating the U-value of building components to BS EN ISO 8990, 94% of the panel area is counted as insulation.

Structural insulated panels easily meet building code 4 and 5 requirements and can meet code 6. Off-site construction of simple housing solutions of a replicable design is extremely cost efficient and the ease and speed of erection on-site keeps overall construction costs low where affordable housing is the aim.

Due to the ease and speed of erection, building with SIPS is a cost efficient, fast building method that embraces new and renewable energies.
