Structural Insulated Panels

Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) are pre-engineered building systems, manufactured in a controlled environment and shipped to site ready for erection.

The Structural Insulated Panels are formed with an inner rigid Polyurethane (PUR) core of insulation sandwiched between two outer skins of oriented strand board (OSB/3). The polyurethane (PUR) core of insulation in the Build It Green Structural Insulated Panels is CFC/HCFC-free with zero Ozone Depletion Potential and has a Low Global Warming Potential (GWP).

The panels are joined together with the use of SIPspines located in preformed rebates within the Polyurethane core.

When engineered and assembled, the SIP wall and roof panels provide the strength, insulation and structural envelope of the building.

SIP panels are used effectively in the following residential sectors: Housing, Housing Developments, Flats, Side Extensions, Roof Extensions, Barns/Conversions, Garden and Office cabins

SIP panels are equally effective as a SIP Infill to a structural frame, or a stand alone SIP frame, subject to the complexity of the building design in the following construction sectors: Education, Leisure, Commercial

Structural Insulated Panels are the next generation alternative to traditional timber frame, brick built houses and pre-fabricated type buildings, with the added benefits: They offer, Excellent thermal performance, Fast construction method, Habitable roof space, No roof trusses required, Environmentally sustainable, Design flexibility

Build It Green Structural Insulated Panels provide superior thermal performance, which will last the life span of the building. This is due to the solid core of polyurethane (PUR) insulation throughout the structure which ensures that the building is heated evenly, remains free from cold spots and will benefit from reduced heating costs.

This building was constructed for the National Science Foundation 200 miles from the Magnetic North Pole!SIPs have proved to be the perfect match for these demanding conditions.

Build It Green Structural Insulated Panels offer extremely high thermal performance, the Polyurethane (PUR) core of rigid insulation and OSB/3 achieves U-Values as low as 0.14 Watts per Meter Squared Kelvin (W/m2K) or better, making significant savings on your annual heating costs.

Build It Green SIP Building Systems do not require roof trusses, therefore providing an additional habitable room in the roof.

The polyurethane (PUR) core of insulation in the Build It Green Structural Insulated Panels is CFC/HCFC-free with zero Ozone Depletion Potential and has a Low Global Warming Potential (GWP).

Build It Green Structural Insulated Panels contribute to The Code for Sustainable Homes through excellent thermal performance, air tightness and limited cold bridging.

The Build It Green SIP Building System is a certified product of the British Board of Agrément (BBA).
