Do I prefer sips panels over traditional timber frame for house extension and home build projects? And..... which is cheaper?
I have pulled out the main advantage points in that SIP manufacturers list, and I will examine them as follows:
Advantage 1….Build cost through economies of speed of construction, SIPs are faster, and therefore cheaper…. Because ……SIPs need less labour…60%, and
Advantage 2…. Simple logistics through a one stop off-site manufacturing process
….and Advantage 3…… Running costs and “Eco credentials” …. the lower annual energy costs SIPs are super airtight and have much better insulation properties.
Let’s use a real world example to see if the these claims live up to the hype.
I’ll compare u values and heat efficiency, speed to construct, and…of course,,,,, cost.
