WHAT ARE SIP PANELS?
Structural Insulated Panels; these panels consist of two sheets of OSB3 (oriented standard boards) adhered to a sheet of rigid foam insulation. Varying thickness of insulation achieves the required level of insulation for the desired end use or product.
These panels are compressed together under high pressure to form a structurally strong panel, set with specialist adhesive.
Using walls formed from SIPs can greatly reduce the labour and time cost associated with timber frame or masonry construction.
Insulated joining splines also reduce cold bridging, which can occur with timber framed studio work.
