Structural Insulated Panels
Why SIPs are crucial to the future
of the UK construction industry
Introduction
Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) are
engineered panels used to construct
walls, ceilings, and floors.
Either as a material for Modern
Methods of Construction, such as offsite
manufacturing, or as a replacement for
traditional construction materials such
as framing lumber and insulation, SIPs
provide an extremely durable, strong,
and energy-efficient building option.
In this document, we explain why
SIPs are so relevant and crucial to
building new homes and industrial and
commercial premises. The benefits
cover their cost-effectiveness, speed
of build, safety, durability, flexibility,
energy-efficiency and ability to improve
overall build quality.
