Advantages Of Structured Insulated Panels

Structural Insulated Panels were first developed by Americans in the 1930’s and were later introduced in the U.K. market in the beginning of 80’s. They are found to be a great material for residential as well as light commercial construction.


SIPs consist of rigid foam insulation layer in between two structural facings, usually made using oriented strand boards (OSB). They are available in a variety of sizes and dimensions to allow easy building designing. Even if you can’t find the dimensions you’ve been looking for, you can always reach out to SIPs manufacturers who can take up the job of customising them as per your project.

Structured insulated panels are renowned for their following qualities below.
  • High performance
  • Strong
  • Energy Efficient
  • Cost effective
  • Pre-fabricated
  • Pre-insulated
SIPs can be used in roofs, walls as well as floors as they have got excellent tensile and compressive strength that increases their functionality. They can be used in residential home projects, extensions, garden buildings and educational as well as commercial buildings. 

There are various advantages of constructing using SIPs. Want to know them? Read on to uncover.
  • Enhance the building’s ability to tolerate great deal of vertical loads
  • Lower down energy bills as they are insulating panels
  • Boost up thermal performance 
  • Excellent fire resistance 
  • Increase air tightness 
  • Protection from growth of mould and insects

Apart from the advantages mentioned above, SIPs also help to save you time, money and labour. So, use them for all your construction needs.
