Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS) are radical change in building design and technology
The way we build houses is changing. With environmental issues likely to dominate all our lives for the foreseeable future, the building industry is moving to adapt new technologies which will lead to the building of a brand new type of environmentally friendly and energy-efficient housing.
Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS) will be at the forefront of this radical change in building design and technology.
SIPS is a building system which will speed up the construction process as well giving us homes and buildings that are ready for 21st century living. With its unique insulating properties SIPS allow you to reap a number of major benefits throughout the construction process and for many years after a building has been completed.
SIPS are one of the most ecologically friendly materials on the market and will lead to dramatically reduced heating bills and significantly increased available living space in the build.
Housing currently produces 27% of Britain’s carbon dioxide emissions but the insulating properties of SIPS means that it is now possible to build cost-effective zero carbon homes and buildings ready for the future. An added incentive for using SIPS is that in December 2006 Chancellor Gordon Brown announced the likelihood that zero carbon homes will in future be exempt from stamp duty.
SIPS technology is regarded by many influential figures in construction as the future of the industry in the UK. SIPS offer versatility and can be used in a wide variety of builds. They tick all the boxes for 21st century living and offer a huge range of advantages throughout the building process. And the best bit is that buildings using SIPS really won’t cost the earth… in more ways than one.
Sometime soon all houses will be built like this. SIPS@Clays can help you realise a design for the future today.
