Are you thinking about extending your home? Do you need the extra living space but you’re unsure what type of extension would be best for you? If this sounds like you, have you ever considered installing a SIPs extension?

What are SIPs extensions?

SIP stands for Structural Insulated Panel. SIPs are made from an insulating foam core that is sandwiched between two structural outer layers. The exterior sections are made from OSB (Oriented Strand Board) and provide a protective cover for the insulating interior. SIPs are durable and lightweight and provide outstanding levels of protection for any home interior.

SIP extensions can be designed and manufactured to meet almost any project specifications. The panels are constructed and cut to size off-site based on accurate on-site measurements. This reduces installation time and means that the panels are ready to be put together as soon as they reach your home.

SIP extensions provide homeowners with a cost-effective, quicker, and greener solution to their home extension plans. When you want a strong and versatile home extension option, SIPs are an excellent choice.
