These panels not only offer top of the range insulation benefits but can also be finished off to match the rest of your home beautifully. In this blog, we will be breaking down some of the key benefits provided by SIP panels, helping you make the decision if this form of extension is the right option for you.  

 

Layers Of Quality Insulation 

 

As previously mentioned these panels offer a unique structure which creates a highly energy-efficient extension which is also very cost-effective. SIP panels really do offer top of the range insulation thanks to the think layer of foam found within. This will ensure that there is never a need for internal insulation as all the needed insulation has been built into the walls of your extension. SIP panels are definitely seen as one of the most efficient ways to construct a warm extension to your home, proudly offering a u-values as low as 0.15, without the need for any additional insulation.
