Structural Insulated Panels are a perfect fit for the home improvement market and leisure sector. With their high thermal values for year-round comfort plus the ease with which the buildings can be pre-assembled and simply dropped into place on-site, they offer fantastic efficiencies. The adaptability and speed of construction, the styling flexibility and high performance, combined with cost savings, means no other form of construction comes close.
Benefits
All our building Structures are built with the innovative Sip Building system
Americans and most of Europe have built houses with sips since the 1930’s, and with the change in building regulations for u values sips are becoming the forefront of design here in the UK.
PS Contracts have adapted this system to produce the next generation of buildings incorporating all the following benefits:
Excellent Thermal Performance
And Industry leading low U Values – Our sip panels are constructed with an integral layer of PU insulation, which we manufacture ourselves, (not stick on), this gives a building material that is a very high insulator meaning our buildings have very low U values, making them much more energy efficient. This provides both a cost saving on energy bills, but more importantly creates a warm, cosy building which can be used all year round with limited heating.
Strength And Security
The structural characteristics of SIPs are similar to that of a steel I-beam. The OSB skins act as the flange of the I-beam, while the rigid foam core provides the web. This design gives SIPs an advantage when handling in-plane compressive loads. Once completed, a SIPs structure forms a monolithic shell which is up to seven times stronger than a conventional timber frame structure.
Faster Installation Times
Our installation teams can construct our buildings 50% quicker on site than all other construction methods.
Most of our construction takes part off site in controlled conditions in our workshops, meaning the onsite build is efficient and quick and you the customer do not have to share your home with workmen for weeks.
Strength And Security
Sips can be fabricated to suit any design of building, allowing our designers the flexibility and creative freedom to create aesthetically pleasing designs. With such high levels of insulation in our panels, more space is provided than traditional constructions due to their thicker wall size packed with layers of low efficient insulation, in our buildings every inch is utilised to create buildings to your exact specifications.
Excellent Sound Proofing
A SIP panel have excellent sound absorption properties with the result that the finished buildings are quieter to live in and opens up numerous other uses from cinema rooms, to music rooms, classrooms…
Environmentally Friendly
Structural insulated panels are one of the most environmentally responsible building systems available. A SIP building envelope provides continuous insulation, is extremely airtight, allows for better control over indoor air quality, reduces construction waste, and helps save natural resources. Life cycle analysis has shown that SIP buildings have a tremendous positive environmental impact by reducing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions throughout the home’s life cycle.
Flame Retardant Solution
PS Contracts have developed a unique SIP called Thermo Sip, its mgo skin means that the SIP is flame retardant protecting you and your property should the event occur
Direct From The Manufacturer
We manufacture the SIP panels at our own factory in Lichfield so you are safe in the knowledge you are dealing directly with the experts at all times.
An All In One Kit Solution
Everything you need comes in the box!
We then combined all the accessories you will need to construct your buildings, from windows and doors, roof coverings, to Cladding options and much more. All can be purchased from one manufacturer, in one kit, delivered direct to the customer.
PS Contracts offer a diverse range of buildings and kits which are ready to buy in a standard kit, or a full bespoke design with a CAD drawn service to create those one off spaces.
We look forward to working with you.
