Benefits of SIPSFAQsDownloads and ResourcesCase Studies
SIPS panels have been incorporated as infill panels between steel frame and other structures for a number of years now. The high insulation performance and simplicity are often used to compensate for lesser performing structural systems.
Fast and efficient construction resulting in high performance buildings often built in locations with difficult access make SIPs the solution for flexible layout and finish.
High insulation values and careful ventilation systems are synonymous with swimming pools and the environments that need to be created. SIPs meet both and allow for the discreet concealing of all ductwork. The pool housing can be erected very quickly to allow tiling and other trades to continue. SIPS roof panels work very well with Glulam or other structural roof supports.
SIPs make the ideal material for most types and uses of leisure building including stable blocks, saunas, leisure rooms, garden rooms, lodges and boat houses. SIPS EcoBuild guarantee to produce a competitively priced, sustainable, eco- efficient and fast building to meet your leisure needs.
Traditionally requiring high levels of heating, a Nursing Home can be made thermally very efficient if constructed using SIPs. Further cost benefit can be achieved if a renewable heat source or redistributing system, such as a mechanical vent heat recovery system (MVHR), is utilised. Where room design is repeated, the use of SIPs is even more attractive.
Pressure to achieve quick returns on Capital Investment makes SIPs the number one choice for hotel construction. With the off-site manufacture of standard room panels making for lower building costs and the high insulation values delivering cheaper running costs, SIPS built hotels is an obvious choice.
SIPs can be used as high performance external roof and wall components or adapted to provide a very tough surface. The Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme has recognised this in many school projects.
