The SIPs Panel System from Extension Kitz
Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) are being used more often for house extensions, Garden Rooms, Home Gyms and Home Offices as people look to make their homes eco-friendly, thermally efficient, and durable.
SIP panels consist of a Liquid foam injected under high pressure to form an insulating foam core which is sandwiched between two structural facings, typically oriented strand board (OSB). SIPs can be fabricated to fit nearly any building design. The result is a building system that is extremely strong, energy-efficient and cost-effective.
Our SIPs are typically 1220mm wide and can be as long as 5.1 metres in length to suit each individual project.
These SIPs are connected with a unique jointing system for both the walls and the roofs. SIPs are fabricated using timber from sustainable sources. SIP constructions use less timber than typical timber frames and are one of the most economical and eco-friendly forms of construction.
Single storey buildings such as lean-tos, orangeries, home office buildings, annexes, garden rooms, home gyms, and summer houses are becoming more and more popular as solutions to the needs of the modern family.
Our Extension Kitz product makes full use of SIPs panels so that you and your client can have the extension that is right for you.
The Benefits of the SIPs System
SIPs are light yet much stronger than traditional build and can often just rest on existing foundations providing they are approved for this type of building. Most people tend to opt for concrete bases.
In these situations, SIPs can help save money because it reduces the potential costs of substructures, structural steelwork as well as the need for load-bearing internal walls. The SIP walls are slimmer than traditional build so, providing more useable space. And both the roof and walls are more thermally efficient with a U-value of 0.15 being standard.
Foundations need only be a simple concrete base. They are sometimes on existing bases when transforming a conservatory into an extension.
SIPs have excellent fire resistance and generally will exceed British Fire Safety regulations. And as a bonus, because they are made from foam, they are not susceptible to pests either.
The structure can be up and watertight in just a few days. Once built, SIP Structures are three times stronger than your average brick build, or seven times stronger than timber framed buildings.
Choose from an exterior of brickslips, cladding or render.
