Save on building costs - use SIPS!

Are you starting a Self-build project?

We are looking forward to spending time at this years HBR Show at the world class exhibition facilities at the NEC Birmingham. As one of largest shows of the year for all things Selfbuild,  we can assure you that this "must attend" event won't leave you disappointed as you try to uncover everything you need to know about your build project.


Our Directors and Technical Sales and Contracts team will be delighted to answer any questions you have about building with Kingspan TEK SIPS (Structural Insulated Panels). Our stand number is G113 and we will be there over the four days. If you don't already know what a brilliant product it is we then we would be happy to explain why we believe it's the "go to" building fabric and off site construction method. We firmly believe that choosing SIPS will save you money not only your building costs overall but also the long term running costs and future of the property in general.


Why does Building an energy efficient home save on costs?


The overall build time is significantly fast tracked due to the panellised system used for construction, follow on trades can start much sooner because the shell, once wrapped in a breather membrane is weathertight and speeds-up hitting those milestones that would be otherwise delayed. When engaging with a Kingspan TEK delivery partner it is much easier to predict project completion times due to the certainty of using the off site construction process.


The completed building reduces the amount of energy needed to heat and cool the home which can result in lower monthly utility bills and a smaller carbon footprint. Energy-efficient features such as hi-efficiency insulation, high performance windows and doors along with an MVHR system and the use of renewable energy sources can help to achieve this. Additionally, an energy-efficient home can also increase its resale value because it is seen as a more sustainable and cost-effective living option.


By reducing the amount of heat lost in the winter while retaining it in the summer building a SIPS house contributes to a stable indoor temperature. Energy efficient features such a high insulation levels, airtight construction and efficient heating and cooling systems help to regulate the indoor climate, making it more comfortable for occupants, improving air quality further and enhancing the overall internal comfort of the home.


There is so much more to tell you and after reading this if you would like to attend the show we have some free tickets to give away. Click in the link below to access them online or get in touch via our email address or socials Alternately we can post you some out if thats your preference.
