Structural Insulated Panels
Straighter and flatter walls – a key
benefit
Not only are SIPs buildings faster and
easier to erect than conventionally
constructed buildings, but they also
have straighter and flatter walls.
Industrially manufactured, SIPs are not
subject to the inconsistencies of man-
made construction. This means that
interior and exterior walls which are
made of SIPs, are straighter and flatter
than hand-built, rendered walls.
This unique aspect reduces the
requirement for onsite adjustments –
which means little or no snagging.
Resistance to damage
Using SIPs to construct the exterior
envelope of the building creates an
extremely tough, durable barrier to
the elements for the protection and
comfort of the building’s occupants.
SIPs buildings are capable of resisting
hurricanes and tornados in storm-prone
areas of the world.
Rigorous testing and
products which meet
the highest levels of
compliance
A technically superior product
SIPs are manufactured to the very
highest standards and technically
superior when compared with all other
building materials.
This statement is proven in a number
of ways.

In Kobe, Japan in 1993, an earthquake
devastated a large area of the city, but
houses built with SIPs came through it
virtually unscathed.
