Case Study: Orangery Kitz Extension
An orangery extension offers a multitude of benefits that can significantly enhance your home and lifestyle.
Traditional cavity wall construction typically uses up to 350mm of wall thickness, which can eat into your usable floor space—especially in smaller extensions. In contrast, SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels) use just 147mm of thickness while still exceeding modern insulation and strength standards.
In a 4m x 5m extension, this difference alone can free up around 2m² of additional internal space—enough for extra storage, a larger dining area, or simply a more open feel. With SIPs, you’re not just building faster and stronger, you’re building smarter.
"BUILD IT FASTER, STRONGER, WARMER AND SMARTER"
Home Extensions Made Easy
Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) are a modern, high-performance construction solution that combine structural strength and thermal efficiency in a single system. They use advanced composite panel technology to deliver superior performance in both residential and light commercial builds.
Each SIP consists of a PUR insulating foam core (Polyurethane) sandwiched between two layers of oriented strand board (OSB). The foam chemically bonds the two layers of OSB to create an extremely strong and thermally efficient system. Produced in a controlled factory environment, the panels can be custom-made to suit almost any design. The result is a lightweight, durable building system that offers excellent energy efficiency, rapid installation, and minimal thermal bridging.
SIPs are engineered, load-bearing, timber-based components suitable for walls and roofs. As they are prefabricated offsite and delivered ready for assembly, they offer significant time and cost advantages. This panelised construction method enables the creation of highly airtight, thermally efficient building envelopes, making SIPs an ideal choice for modern construction projects.
An orangery extension offers a multitude of benefits that can significantly enhance your home and lifestyle.
This case study showcases a beautiful garden room using Extension Kitz SIP Panels.
Even small gardens can benefit from a compact room. It creates extra usable square footage without needing a major home extension.
