Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs)
Structural Insulated panels (SIPs) are high-performing thermally efficient composite panels, replacing traditional frames, bracing and insulation.
They offer superior insulation, air tightness, and structural strength & ductility. This makes them a versatile product perfect for high performance buildings.
As one of New Zealand’s most experienced SIPs builders we also offer a pre-assembly & install service.
