Redefining Home Extensions: Exploring the Advantages of SIP Builds

Are you thinking about extending your home? Do you need the extra living space but you’re unsure what type of extension would be best for you? If this sounds like you, have you ever considered installing a SIPs extension?

What are SIPs extensions?

SIP stands for Structural Insulated Panel. SIPs are made from an insulating foam core that is sandwiched between two structural outer layers. The exterior sections are made from OSB (Oriented Strand Board) and provide a protective cover for the insulating interior. SIPs are durable and lightweight and provide outstanding levels of protection for any home interior.

SIP extensions can be designed and manufactured to meet almost any project specifications. The panels are constructed and cut to size off-site based on accurate on-site measurements. This reduces installation time and means that the panels are ready to be put together as soon as they reach your home.

SIP extensions provide homeowners with a cost-effective, quicker, and greener solution to their home extension plans. When you want a strong and versatile home extension option, SIPs are an excellent choice.

Advantages and features of SIP builds

SIP builds provide homeowners with a wide variety of features and benefits. If you’re considering a SIP extension for your home, you can expect:

• Far quicker installation time compared to traditional brick-built extensions
• Exceptional thermal performance with U-values as low as 0.8 W/m²K
• 7 times stronger than timber structures and 3 times stronger than brick builds
• Off-site manufacturing for limited on-site cutting and disruption
• Almost endless array of extension design options
• Outstanding acoustic performance for a quieter home interior

SIPs extensions are also fully compliant with current building regulations requirements. This means that they meet the strict standards to ensure safety and performance.

Whether you’re planning a brand-new full-scale home extension, or you want to add an additional section or new roof to an existing extension, SIPs are a great choice.
