Why aren't SIP’s more widely used in the UK and Ireland?
Lack of awareness and use of sustainable building methods are the main reasons. The new Building Regulations / Standards which came into effect in 2006 in the United Kingdom challenge many traditional construction systems. People are now looking at ways of meeting the new requirements economically.
Thermal efficiency combined with excellent air tightness, the speed of build and the low site wastage makes the Kingspan TEK Building System a very cost effective way of exceeding the new Building Regulations / Standards. In addition to this, the extremely low U-values that can be achieved by using Kingspan TEK Building System (as low as 0.20 W/ m2.K in roofs and walls) means the system will also easily meet the U-values that are expected to be set in the next anticipated changes to the Building Regulations / Standards.
