Additional Commercial Space Efficiently Built with SIPs

Volumetric building is a construction method where whole three-dimensional modules are manufactured in a factory and then delivered to your site for rapid assembly. In our Worcestershire factory, we build each module using SIPs (structural insulated panels), forming the walls, floor, and roof in a controlled environment for consistent quality and insulation performance. Once complete, the finished units are transported and connected on-site to create a durable, energy-efficient building in far less time than traditional builds.

Using SIPs technology to create precision-built modules in our factory, delivering efficient construction for a range of commercial uses.

Our modules have structural integrity, and this method of construction can reduce on-site time by as much as 50% on larger projects where multiple and/or repetitive units are required.

Modular Commercial Buildings

Volumetric building is a cost-effective and efficient solution to the need for additional space for a wide range of uses:

  • Offices
  • Storage
  • Meeting Space
  • Accomodation

The Benefits of Building with SIPs

Future 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.

Future Sips
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.

Future Sips
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.

Future Sips
High Structural Performance

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

Future Sips
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.
