This facility allows a fast, quality service geared to individual requirements at the best possible cost, anywhere in UK and Ireland.
The fabrication facility in offers structural building frames using large format SIPs and modular systems to meet specific requirements and assist builders to complete a weathered structural frame for any building type in a fraction of the time normally required with traditional forms of building.
SIP buildings offer an unparalleled level of energy efficiency, and can deliver SIP solutions for Schools, Hotels, Multi Storey Apartment projects, Housing Association Projects, Commercial offices, Community buildings and a range of other construction solutions where SIPs are a better option for the contractor.
We are developing a range of modern sustainable designs that will meet the need for fast, energy efficient, low cost Social Housing and Affordable starter homes for the private sector.
Xtendit offers fast built modern extensions for home owners, commercial buildings, schools, hospitals, etc. This service will be hassle free, with the added benefits of external and internal finishes. A full architectural, design engineering and Structural Certification service will be available with all structural frames erected by Sipframe's experienced installers.
SIPs can also play a major role in the refurbishment of older social housing stock, by 'wrapping' the existing poorly insulated walls and roofs with SIPs and applying fresh external finishes and modern windows. This would have the effect of upgrading the energy efficiency of such homes to modern standards, quickly and with minimum disruption to tenants.
In response to the requirements of The Code for Sustainable Homes, we are working to develop Ecopad, a 'Code 6' 'Zero Carbon' concept house. This demonstration house will be monitored to provide a wide range of data for Architects, Builders and the public wishing to visit.
Add-Space garden module/extension range has been developed in collaboration with talented architects. Whether a home office, studio, gym, playroom, music room or a guest annexe-quality, highly insulated modules to meet all tastes are offered.

Product History
Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) are not a new method of construction, having been used extensively for decades across North America and Canada.Despite this proven history, SIPs are still considered as an unknown quantity in most parts of Europe.
The SIP industry in the USA & Canada is mainly focused on the use of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) core panels. Although EPS provides good insulation, it can present a problem in that, when exposed to fire EPS will ignite and burn, and also melts at relatively low temperatures.
Sips have a high pressure injected Polyurethane core, which not only gives better insulation than EPS, but also inhibits ignition and does not melt.
Having an injected core means that the facings of the panel are auto-adhered during the foaming process, giving a much stronger, continuous bond compared to the lamination process used with EPS cores.
The composite construction of a SIP gives an excellent combination of structural strength and thermal insulation due to the elimination of cold bridging normally associated with timber frame construction.
Hemsec SIPs Ltd, the largest UK SIP producer with over 75 years experience in manufacturing composite panels, and who have built a solid reputation around principles of quality, performance and value.
