SIPs – THE ECO-FRIENDLY METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION
The future of building is here…
With the urgent need for carbon-neutral, energy-efficient homes, it’s time to start designing and building more responsibly. One of the most environmentally conscious building systems available today is SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels).
This eco-friendly construction method represents the next generation of timber-based building systems. SIPs use up to 60% less timber than traditional methods and are up to seven times stronger than brick-and-block buildings.
Why Choose SIPs?
Homes built using the SIPs system are extremely airtight, significantly reducing the energy required to heat or cool a room—by as much as 50%. This translates to:
- Lower energy consumption
- Reduced CO₂ emissions
- Considerably lower energy bills
What Are SIPs?
Developed with advanced insulation and building solutions in mind, Kingspan technology has led the industry in thermal efficiency, fire safety, and long-term durability for over 50 years.
Unlike traditional construction methods, SIPs are fabricated off-site to fit the building’s design with precision. Each panel consists of:
- A fully recyclable, fibre-free insulating foam core
- Two OSB (Oriented Strand Board) structural facings
- Timber sourced from certified sustainable forests
This method also achieves up to a 90% reduction in site waste.
The system is inherently strong, airtight, and up to 60% faster to build. The EPS insulation used is zero-rated for ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) and GWP (Global Warming Potential)—making SIPs a sustainable choice for self-builders and construction companies worldwide.
Year-Round Comfort
Building your home with the energy-efficient SIPs panel system means:
- Warmth in winter
- Cool interiors in summer
- Long-term savings on energy bills
