Accurate Build Schedule
As SIPs are a dry method of construction, adverse weather has little effect on the speed of work on-site, helping you stay on schedule and plan with confidence.
Reduce Cost
Lower on-site labour costs as reduced work is required on-site. As panels are manufactured in a quality controlled environment less waste is produced on site. Waste can be costly to dispose of.
Slim Wall Build-up
Giving you more internal floor area and potentially increasing the value of your home.
Rapid Build Times
As Kingspan TEK® is a SIP, it is fabricated in a factory and then delivered to site, ensuring a faster and safer build.
Design Flexibility
SIPs are normally used for external walls and roof structures. Panellised roof structures remove the need for trusses and can simplify the construction of ‘room in the roof’ solutions.
Thermal Efficiency
Kingspan TEK® creates houses with strong energy efficiency credentials saving you money on energy bills and reducing your carbon footprint.
