The Benefits of Structural Insulated Panels
Using SuperSIPs means:
-
Construction times are shorter and labour costs are cheaper
-
SuperSIPs panels can reduce installation time by up to 60%
-
SuperSIPs roof structures do not require roof trusses, this creates an open and habitable warm room in the roof.
-
A SIPs structure is a lightweight shell and therefore does not require a heavy foundation design.
-
A SIPs structure is pre-engineered off-site to avoid both the additional labour and the ever increasing cost of the safe disposal of waste materials.
-
Insulation is built into SuperSIPs panels, negating the need to install further insulation during the construction process
-
SuperSIPs negate the need for bricklayers or masons
-
Heating costs are much lower
-
Unbeatable insulation value means energy costs can be reduced by up to 60% over conventional construction
-
SuperSIPs create an air tight structure with no heat loss or condensation
-
Manufacturing is greener
-
Waste from creating SIPs can be recycled
-
50% less raw timber is needed to manufacture SIPs than with conventional timber frame structures
-
The core insulation is polyurethane foam (PUR) which is CFC and HCFC free and has an ozone depletion potential of zero.
-
SIPs are even the panel of choice for structures built in the Antarctic!
