Sip Roof Construction

Pre cut sips on our cnc machine ensure accuracy and proper fit to your design.

Sip roof construction.

These blank panels start their life in a 1 2m wide format and come in various standardised heights from 2 4m to 7 45m. The best way to take advantage of sips inherent benefits is to design a cathedral ceiling into a building with a pitched roof. Using a sip roof system in conjunction with sip walls will offer much more energy efficiency than using sip wall alone or a sip roof alone. Structural insulated panels or sips are pieces of insulation bonded on each side to typically two skins of oriented strand board osb.

Structural insulated panels make construction go quickly but detailing to prevent air and water leaks is key particularly on roof assemblies. The panels are then cut to size timber edge pieces added and any openings formed. While sips can be used for walls or roofs the best performance occurs when sips are used to create an entire energy efficient shell. While sips may cost more initially sip construction provides benefits that impact the entire cost of ownership for the life of the structure.
