SIP Panel Extensions
A Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) is made from a sandwich of two layers of stressed skin and one layer of insulation. The stressed skin layers make it exceptionally strong, whilst producing thinner overall wall thicknesses than other forms of construction. With no need for cavity or internal insulation, structural insulated panels can provide a very fast way of constructing very efficient walls with u-values as low as 0.15, without additional insulation.
SIP Panel Extensions
A Tried & Tested Solution
SIP Panel Extensions were first developed in America in the 1930’s and have been widely-used in the UK since the 1980’s. They have a proven track record of performance and testing, and have a C.A.T.G. SIP Mark Scheme. The Building Research Establishment, an independent testing body, have produced an Information Paper (IP 13/04) on structural insulated panels and have conducted testing on SIPs on behalf of the Government and insurers.

Guardian Extension Efficiency Information
Our extensions utilise the Kingspan TEK® Building System for the walls, which has environmental sustainability at its core. All of the components for a typical extension, e.g. panels and ancillaries, come from one source. Therefore there are fewer deliveries, less transport congestion, noise and traffic pollution, which reduces a project’s impact on the environment. In addition, a project will create minimal site waste, as kits are designed, cut and palletised in a quality controlled, factory environment.
Roof Efficiency
For roofs we use the Guardian Warm Roof system, which is fully tested and approved to all thermal and structural standards. This high performance insulated roof system comprises of a pre-engineered lightweight frame, two layers of rigid insulation board, internal insulated plasterboard, exterior grade plywood and a vapour membrane. Altogether this creates a thermally efficient living space; keeping the warm air out in the summer and preventing the heat from escaping in the winter thus saving the amount of heat energy required to keep the room at an ambient temperature.
Complete Construction Efficiency
Finished constructions produce a superior U-value of just 0.16 W/m2.K with a total wall thickness of 275.5 mm. To achieve an equivalent U-value using traditional methods of construction the wall would have to be 453 mm thick. Thermographic imagery on completed roofs has demonstrated 100% thermal reliability and continuous insulation, with:
- No cold bridging
- No condensation risk
- No interstitial moisture risk

Extension Types

A generous open-plan kitchen has become the epicentre for modern living, and a SIP Panel extension is the ideal way to enlarge your existing kitchen. Not only will this extension provide the additional space you require, it will also add value to your property.
There often comes a point where a family simply needs more space in the home, but moving to another property is not a practical solution. This may be due to having to accommodate more family members, whether additional children or a relative in need of regular care. In which case, extending the house by adding a bedroom is often the most cost-effective solution.
There is no doubt that the most practical area to expand a house is into the garden space to the rear. This may be to create some working space for a hobby, or perhaps due to a switch in work priorities away from travelling to the office in favour of working at home. Adding a modern ground-floor extension can be the answer to such scenarios, because they can essentially be designed exactly to the user’s needs.
For more than fifty years, conservatories have been the most popular method of extending a private house. They were relatively simple to design and install, took advantage of simpler planning regulations, and consequently were not as expensive to construct as a traditional brick and tile extension.
A generous open-plan living space is a must for any large family, or for entertaining guests on a regular basis, and a SIP Panel extension is the ideal way to enlarge your existing living room. Not only will this extension provide the additional space you require, it will also add value to your property.
A generous open-plan kitchen has become the epicentre for modern living, but it is not always possible to remodel an existing kitchen within the available space and retain all of the necessary equipment of modern living. Adding a utility room extension alongside the kitchen allows you to remove some large white goods items, such as washing machines, tumble dryers, freezers, etc, and thus create more space for remodelling the existing kitchen area to accommodate those latest innovations such as an island or breakfast bar.
