Modular School Buildings

Modular Buildings and Classrooms for Schools, Colleges, Nurseries and Universities. Cost-Effectively Built with SIPs.

Modular School Buildings for a Wide Range of Uses

A modular education building or classroom built with structural insulated panels can be a quicker and more cost-effective solution to the need for additional and flexible classroom space than traditional build methods, ideal for when space is needed quickly.

Modular buildings built with SIPs are suitable for a variety of uses, including classrooms, music rooms, leisure facilities, ancillary areas and more.

Our service includes structural designs, a full structural appraisal from a third-party engineer and installation, all delivered by an experienced team throughout the project.

Building with SIPs is a cost-effective and efficient solution to the need for additional space for a wide range of uses:

Classrooms
Breakout Rooms
Storage
Meeting Space
Teaching spaces
Staff rooms
SEN spaces
Admin areas
Dining space
Changing rooms
Music rooms

The Benefits of Building with SIPs

Faster Construction Speeds

The premanufactured nature of SIP panels offers a significantly reduced site installation time in comparison to traditional construction methods such as masonry or timber framing.

Reduced Energy Costs

SIPs are very airtight in its construction and with less timber required than traditional timber frame construction, there is a vast reduction of cold bridges in the wall build up and less energy is needed to heat and cool rooms.

Lower On-Site Costs

Due to the stringent, tried and tested design and manufacturing process, materials work harmoniously together, delivering a highly predictable and reliable product whilst minimising construction waste and labour costs.

High Structural Performance

The composite construction of SIP panels offers enhanced structural performance, strength and stability in comparison to traditional construction methods.

Lightweight Prefabricated Structure

SIPs construction is an incredibly strong, yet lightweight system. This can minimise disruption on site, utilising low impact footings (where ground conditions permit), requiring less labour and allowing for easier handling during construction.

Technical Information

Insulation

Our panels are constructed using enhanced grey EPS insulation. EPS is an inert material that will not off-gas or degrade over time, unlike PIR and PUR insulations, resulting in thermal performance that will remain consistent over the lifetime of the building. The enhanced grey EPS used in our panels is a closed cell structure and offers far superior thermal resistance values over standard EPS, with a water permeability of 0.015 to 0.030 mg(pa.h.m) and a thermal conductivity value of 0.032 W/mK

Structural Performance

Our wall and roof systems have been fully tested to British Standard and Eurocode loadings for domestic buildings. Each bespoke project will have a full structural design and structural appraisal from a third-party engineer, using the structural load testing data.

Standard Details and U Values

We have a range of standard details to assist and guide clients, architects and builders in the understanding and application of our SIPs wall and roof systems. Our thermal values are tailored towards ‘new thermal elements’ required for home extensions and ancillary building, including home annexes. U values are calculated on the complete wall or roof build up and these can be enhanced further with additional internal insulation, if required.
