Hemsec and SIP Build UK to provide cost-effective solution for energy-efficient building systems

Hemsec and SIP Build UK have announced a new partnership to provide a cost-effective, end-to-end solution for the creation of energy-efficient building systems

With energy prices soaring and millions of UK households living in fuel poverty, the new partnership between Hemsec and SIP Build UK aims to provide high-quality, sustainable, energy-efficient building systems.

Hemsec and SIP Build UK believe that a fabric-first approach delivers more benefits than driving energy savings through materials and technology. A fabric-first approach also increases thermal efficiency to futureproof the build by considering the entire building envelope.

Structural insulated panels (SIPs) are a high-performance building system for residential and light commercial construction.

What are the benefits of using SIPs?

• Thermally efficient
• Faster build times
• Reduce waste & fuel costs
• More internal space

Building with SIPs can contribute to meeting Future Home Standards and Passivhaus standards, resulting in reduced days that require heating and reduced energy bills. Additionally, when building with SIPs, homes are airtight, resulting in cooler homes during the warmer weather.

Sarah Gazzola, sales & marketing director at Hemsec, commented: “At Hemsec, we are on an exciting journey to become a B-certified corporation, and therefore, it is extremely important for us to build relationships with organisations where there is a synergy in our values and purpose.

“With a strong alignment in the direction we’re heading, we are looking forward to building on our relationship with SIP Build UK and hope to make a real difference in the construction industry by providing high-quality panels that contribute to an energy-efficient future for homeowners.”

Chris Duckworth, managing director at SBUK Group, added: “The future direction allows us to make the most of being a market leader with Nationwide Coverage; SIPs are regularly featured on Grand Designs and other property programmes, and we have seen demand soar in this marketplace.

“Energy efficiency is harder to achieve using traditional methods, and the short supply of bricklayers is moving many developers and builders towards Offsite Manufacture. Our partnership with Hemsec and our dedicated teams and systems enables us to continue our passion for better products and processes which aim to increase efficiency, quality, resident satisfaction, environmental performance and sustainability.”
