Hemsec SIPs
Hemsec SIPs are exceptionally strong, load-bearing panels for walls,
roofs and floors in commercial and residential buildings. They have
been extensively tested, and exceed the leading standards for
strength across the UK and Europe.
At a Glance:
• Far fewer building materials are required when you use SIPs,
saving significant time, labour and cost
• Gain far greater architectural flexibility than when you opt
for traditional building methods
• SIPs minimise heat loss through continuous, high
performance insulation
• They are made using OSB from sustainable FSC sources,
providing exceptional eco-benefits
• Under BBA, ETA and CE certification, a minimum life expectancy
of 60 years makes SIPs a safer bet than most building materials
available anywhere
• Fire resistance up to 90 minutes when utilised as the principal
structural element in built up wall systems
• Panel thicknesses range from 100mm (U-value of 0.34 W/m ² k)
to 225mm (U-value of 0.14 W/m ² k)
Applications include:
• Affordable housing – thermal
properties make them inexpensive
to run
• Luxury housing – flexibility of design
gives architectural creative freedom
• Public Buildings including education
and healthcare
• Commercial buildings –
cost-effective to build and manage
• Industrial buildings – large spans
combined with load-bearing strength
