SIP Encapsulation

Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) are an innovative building material consisting of a foam core sandwiched between two structural facings of OSB board. SIPs offer exceptional strength, insulation and ease of construction, making them a popular choice for oak framed buildings. When used in conjunction with an oak framed building, SIPs provide a modern twist on traditional construction methods while maintaining the aesthetic appeal and structural integrity of oak structures.

In the context of oak framed buildings, SIP encapsulation uses the SIP panels to wrap the entire oak frame structure providing a continuous thermal and structural envelope. The tight integration of SIPs with the oak frame ensures excellent energy efficiency, reducing heat loss and maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures throughout the year.

The advantages of using SIPs in oak framed buildings are numerous. Firstly SIPs offer superior thermal performance compared to traditional construction methods, resulting in lower energy consumption and reduced heating and cooling costs. Additionally, SIPs are highly bespoke and can be prefabricated at our facility to a precise specification, speeding up the construction process and minimising waste. SIP technology is sustainable, efficient and compliments a visually stunning oak frame.
