An introduction to building with Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs)

Structural Insulate Panels (SIPs) are a modern method of construction and are becoming increasingly popular as they are:
• light, strong and versatile
• thermally efficient and have low air leakage
• able to be erected by a fast and predictable construction process

In most applications, SIPs are used as primary loadbearing components. The SIP home Ltd web site gives information and advice on the design, construction and performance of SIPs used primarily for domestic but can and has been used in educational, health, commercial and light industrial construction. It also addresses conformity assessment, purchasing, insurance and other issues related to SIP construction.
