Large SIPs Detached House, Brindle, Near Chorley
John & Janet bought Eagles Nest, a small bungalow in a fantastic setting, they then decided to knock down the existing property and build a new five bedroom home over three floors including a basement. John was well aware of the thermal properties of SIPs as we had already built a garden office for him last summer, hence Jon & Janet's decision to use SIPs was an easy one.
