As your business grows you may need to upgrade your facilities, but it can be a challenge to find a space that meets all the size, budget, and sustainability requirements of your business. Not just popular in the residential sector, structural insulated panels (SIPs) are increasingly becoming a top choice for office and commercial spaces too. These sandwich-like panels, manufactured off-site, provide numerous benefits that provide long-term savings to your business. As industry experts for over 30 years, SIPS UK has put together the top reasons why SIPs are the perfect choice for your commercial building.
Built for purpose
One of the largest benefits of a SIP built building is that they can be completely customised from the outset. Your building can be built specifically for you, with the needs of your business in mind. SIP panels can come in any size or thickness, and can be used in as much or as little of the building as required. The panels can be clad in any material, meaning you don’t have to compromise on the look of the building either. Following your exact specifications, SIPS UK manufacture the panels off-site and deliver to you the shell of your building, completely ready for construction. This future-proofs your building, as it is unlikely you will need to alter it in the future, and if you do, adding more SIP rooms to the building is an easier process than building extensions.
Environmentally friendly
In a modern world, eco-conscious offices and commercial spaces are the way forward, with many businesses dedicated to decreasing their carbon footprint. SIPs provide environmental benefits in the manufacturing process as well as long term. The accuracy at which they are cut ensures that very little waste is created, and using sustainably sourced timber creates little impact on the environment. The well-insulated shell makes the building airtight and insulated right to the core, providing increased thermal efficiency. Some SIP buildings have achieved a U-Value as low as 0.10W/m²K, almost entirely negating the need for artificial heating, lowering harmful CO2 emissions, and reducing overall running cost of the building.
Shortened time frame
This modern method of construction is one of the fastest in the industry. The panels are manufactured off-site, and thanks to the accuracy achieved during the cutting process, the assembly time on site is fairly short. A SIP building only takes approximately half the time of a traditional build. A commercial property using structural insulated panels can be occupied much sooner than other methods of construction, enabling minimal disruption to your business, and generating revenue sooner.
Whether used as the internal or external walls, or as an infill panel, SIPs can help to create a bespoke, functional, and eye-catching space for all your business needs, without compromising on quality or impact to the environment. At SIPS UK, we are able to manufacture panels of any size and for any purpose to match your design specifications exactly.
