Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs): a 21st Century Solution
These advanced, high thermal efficiency building materials are essentially what
we’re made of - a strong and stable combination of expanded polystyrene sandwiched
between orientated strand board (OSB).
SIPs are our ‘building blocks’ for structures. There’s no need for extra insulation,
or energy and resource consuming steel or timber frameworks. SIPs are simply faced
with a range of finish options, such as roof tiles and stone or brick slips to harmonize
with the surrounding environment.
This form of construction has been used for the last 50 years in the United States and Europe. A broad range of sectors in the UK use this form widely.
