What are SIPS? Each panel is a sandwich of a rigid panel glued to both sides of solid insulation. This replaces the whole timber frame and batts used in stick construction. The EPS core matches standard timber frame sizes to make construction simpler. Thicknesses: start at 115mm and go up to 315mm in 50mm increments. Width is 1220mm. Lengths are anything up to 5m. |
Why SIPS are better?
StrongerEvery panel provides bracing and impact resistance. The entire surface is structural and load bearing.
High insulation valuesThe Neopor insulation we use gives 30% better insulation than the standard white polystyrene.
Modest costMoving from 90mm timber framing to 140mm makes a huge increase in the cost. The cost of SIPS goes up by only 10%.
Rapid constructionIn the time it takes to stand a timber frame, you can be enclosed and starting to finish the interior.
