SIPs or Structurally Insulated Panels use timber panels from sustainable sources with an insulating foam core. This gives a high strength to weight ratio allowing large sections of your building to be fitted at once, speeding up the time required on site. The result is a building system that is extremely strong, energy efficient and cost effective. Building with SIPs will save you time, money and labour. SIPs are used increasingly for the inner skin of office developments or as the supporting structure for cladding systems. The insulating properties of the panels offer a warm environment for the staff whilst substantially reducing heating costs to the company. Over 20,000 people build their own home in the UK every year, around 12 per cent of all homes built in the UK today are self-built and it’s estimated self-builders spend around £2bn on the land and build costs.
