Home | – Simplicity in one panel | Key benefits of SIPs
Whatever the complexity, scale or ambition of your project we believe the building system offers the simplest, most reliable and best value solution for Structural Insulated Panels or SIP construction.
Structural Insulated Panels offer significant advantages in a world where construction schedules are becoming shorter, building performance criteria becoming more challenging, and the need for innovative solutions to ambitious construction targets and skilled labour shortages are paramount.
Offsite construction must meet the same regulations and standards of traditional construction, but reduces waste and improves sustainability thanks to the more efficient factory based production process, compared to onsite labour and materials and reduced whole-life cost. The more precise and flexible factory production environment enables more creativity without compromising performance and cost savings.
The ability of modular, insulated panel methods of construction to lower risk and add value means if can often exceed the performance of traditional in terms of both the project delivery and end product.
Offsite construction is highly adaptable. s and be used for walls, floors and roofs and they can form all or part of a building.
Structural insulated panels contribute positively to the environment by helping to lower CO2 levels. s have significantly lower embodied energy than traditional construction materials such as steel, concrete and masonry.
Sequestered carbon is carbon safely trapped within timber building materials that would otherwise be in the form of atmospheric CO2 . Buildings made out of SIPs become an effective form of carbon storage. The carbon is locked up until the building is demolished and the carbon released. The long lifespan of our buildings make them ideal for this type of carbon offset and storage in a way which can be more easily observed and measured.
Superior energy efficiency
With U-values as low as 0.09 W/m²K, the inherent excellent insulating properties and superior air tightness of a finished SIP structure reduce the energy consumption and running costs of a building. Often it is possible to specify a lower specification heating system and reduce the cost and complexity of the HVAC installation.
Air Tightness
Few methods of build can match the air permeability levels achievable with large format SIP panels. The only ones of its type manufactured in in the UK, Innovaré Offsite’s panels can measure up to almost 6 x 3 metres. Fewer structural joints and connections combined with the exacting panel tolerances of ±2mm make s one of the easier ways to achieve levels of air leakage as low as 0.6 m3/m2hr@ 50 pascals. Taping the joints allows structures to achieve Passivhaus standards.
Minimal cold bridging
The Y-value measures the total heat loss expected from thermal bridging in all of the junctions of the building. The Innovaré Offsite system has a typical Y-value of 0.025 W/m²K exceeding the accredited and enhanced construction details values of 0.08 and 0.04 W/m²K respectively.
