SIP FAQS

Have a question or query hopefully our SIP FAQS has the answer. Please get in touch with any SIP query you have

  • The maximum size of a garden room depends on a few key factors, including roof span, panel efficiency, and intended use.

    For roof span:

    • A 147mm thick roof panel (cut at 606mm centres) can span up to 5.2m.

    • A 172mm thick panel (also at 606mm centres) increases this span to 5.9m.

    To maximise cost-efficiency, it's best to design using full-size SIPs panels, which come in standard sizes of 2440mm x 1220mm or 3000mm x 1220mm. This reduces waste and fabrication costs.

    Lastly, if the garden room will be used as living accommodation, a thicker panel is needed to meet required U-values for insulation—the thicker the panel, the better the insulation performance.

    If your design exceeds these parameters above get in touch as we can offer structural engineering calculations.

  • While SIPs may have a higher upfront cost, their energy efficiency, quick construction times, and long-term benefits can result in cost savings over the life of the building.

  • SIPs offer several benefits, including high energy efficiency, quick installation, reduced construction waste, and superior strength. They also provide better insulation compared to traditional construction methods.

  • We manufacture the following size SIP panels:
    • 97mm SIP Panels – 3000mm x 1220mm
    • 122mm SIP Panels – 3000mm x 1220mm
    • 147mm SIP Panels – 3000mm x 1220mm
    • 172mm SIP Panel – 2440mm x 1220mm
    • 147mm SIP Panel – 2440mm x 1220mm
    • 122mm SIP Panel – 2440mm x 1220mm
    • 72mm SIP Panel – 2440mm x 1220mm
    • 97mm SIP Panel – 2440mm x 1220mm

  • What are SIPS at Premier SIPS - A construction material used in building homes and other structures. SIPs are panels made from two outer layers of a material OSB (Oriented Strand Board), with a PUR (polyurethane) foam core in between. They provide high insulation and are energy efficient. The general definition of a SIPS panel is made from two outer layers generally a material like plywood or OSB (Oriented Strand Board), with a foam core in between.  

  • SIPs are used as building material for walls, roofs, and floors. They replace traditional framing materials and insulation, providing a more energy-efficient and faster construction process.

  • SIPs minimize thermal bridging and air leakage, providing a continuous and effective thermal barrier. This contributes to maintaining a consistent indoor temperature and reducing the need for additional heating or cooling.
