SIPS aren't new, having being utilised for decades thoughtout Europe and North America to tackle cold environments. Only recently has the system been adopted to exploit its beneficial properties and newly available building materials to tackle our variable and harsh climatic conditions.
Now with the use of “infinite element engineering analysis” the system is being utilised here to create envelopes that are both structurally sound and efficient in protecting against our extreme climate.
Emergence of SIPS
Over the past few years, modular home systems similar to those of North American have emerged in Europe and UK. Until now there has been no deviation to utilise our available facing materials. Sips gives you a host of finishes to ensure you aren’t limited in choice.
Now with these multiple options for external cladding and internal lining, and the variants available through those suppliers, Architects and owners can finish their creations to complement their shared vision.
