Thermal Performance and Structural Strength
Why are SIP's so special. here is why!
Build Smarter. Build Stronger. Build Efficiently.
Why Choose SIPs for Energy Efficiency and Strength?
Structured Insulated Panels (SIPs) combine exceptional thermal performance with superior structural strength, making them the ideal solution for energy-efficient, high-performance buildings.
Thermal Performance (U-Values)
SIPs are engineered for maximum insulation with a rigid core of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), Polyurethane (PUR), or other high-performance insulation materials.

Typical U-Values of SIP Panels:
Note: Lower U-values indicate better insulation. Our SIPs exceed most UK Building Regulation requirements.
Structural Strength
SIPs are load-bearing, allowing them to replace traditional timber framing and offer significant strength benefits:
-
- Compressive Strength: Up to 10 tonnes/m²
-
- Axial Load Capacity: Over 10 kN/m for 150mm panels
-
- Bending Strength: Withstands high wind and roof loads
-
- Racking Resistance: Excellent lateral stability
All SIPs are tested according to BS EN 14509 and BS EN 1365-1 standards.
Advantages of SIPs
-
✅ Reduced heating bills with superior airtightness and insulation
-
✅ Stronger than conventional timber frame walls
-
✅ Supports longer roof spans without steel beams
-
✅ Quick installation reduces labour costs
-
✅ Ideal for Passivhaus, Zero Carbon, and high-performance homes
