SIPs eco panels
(Structural Insulated Panels)
Sips are composite building panel, consisting of a layer of insulation sandwiched between two layers of structure. SIPs eco panels are designed to perform in a similar way to a steel I-beam, forming a very strong structural building panel. SIPs eco panels are far stronger than timber frame construction, more energy efficient, quicker to erect and provide an air tight environment making heating and cooling both easier and cheaper.

Since SIPs were introduced to the UK in the 1980s, they have grown from strength to strength with thousands of SIP houses built here. Here are some reports of how easily SIPs can be used and how well they perform.
DAY Partnership - Bristol - Architect
A building appears out of the ground in an incredibly short space of time. Optimising construction is very important when considering budgets and the structurally insulated panel goes a long way towards this.
Paul Collinge - Oxford - Architect
SIPs eco panels have shown their flexibility with a complex and award winning design structure in Oxford. Their benefits have also been appreciated with other prestigious projects.
Darwen Timber - Erector
Due to the accuracy of design and quality of manufacture, the panels go together with ease and simplicity, which means we go from delivery to completion within a short period of time.
Steven James Allen Ltd - Essex - Project Manager
Trades commented on how well put together and solid the frame appeared to be compared to traditional timber frame. The air tightness results were impressive and the whole build gained a high scoring EPC rating. I would definitely use SIPs eco panels again.
Who uses and who specify SIPs eco panels?
- Many companies recommend SIPs eco panels to their clients
- Many designers and architects make SIPs eco panels their nominated supplier for the structure once they have seen a building constructed
- Loft conversion companies
- Oak frame manufacturers
- Garden lodge and home office companies
- People building extensions
- People requiring a vaulted ceiling
- Self builders wanting a fast build and an energy efficient home
- Housing associations
- House boat owners
What are the benefits of using SIPs eco panels?
- Made in the UK - manufactured by SIPs eco panels in their UK based factory
- Efficient - greater energy efficiency from thinner panels than most other panel manufacturers
- Recyclable - Our panels are 100% recyclable with an A Green Guide Rating, a GWP (Global Warming Potential) of 4.4 and an ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) of zero!
- Suitable for all wall and roof designs - we offer a range of panel thicknesses down to 0.13 U-value through walls
- Quick to erect for faster project completion - faster than timber frame!
- Cheaper build costs - reduced foundation costs due to lightweight construction and enhanced panel strength
- Lower fuel bills - potential increased sale value
