Where can SIPS be used?
SIPS is one of the most versatile building systems available and can be used in almost any architectural sector. SIPS@Clays has already worked in many of these areas.
RESIDENTIAL
SIPS can be used across the board from single residences to commercial housing projects. It can be utilised by self-builders as well as contractors working on large-scale housing developments.
SIPS can be used to build extensions to existing residences and it can also be used to form a warm roof over a conventionally constructed building to create additional living area. Other applications include the creation of a structure inside the brick shell of an existing building (eg. barn conversions), to take advantage of the unique thermal qualities of SIPS.
HEALTH
SIPS have been used extensively in the building of hospitals and health care establishments. Building costs are minimised due to the speed of build and heating costs are drastically reduced.
EDUCATION
Building with SIPS can be of great benefit where space is at a premium. Schools, in particular, have benefited from the extra roof space which is automatically created by using SIPS.
LEISURE
SIPS has already been utilised by the leisure industry in Britain. The hugely popular Center Parcs have used the panels because of their fast track building capability and for their thermal efficiency. SIPS provide Center Parcs with life time energy saving benefits and also meet the requirements of the company’s environmental policy.
HOUSING ASSOCIATION
SIPS can significantly reduce running costs and provide energy saving solutions to housing associations who are looking for a cost-effective and long term solutions for their customers needs.
