Sips (Structural Insulating Panels) are a composite material used in building. They consist of a sandwich of two layers of structural board with an insulating layer of foam in between. The board is usually OSB (Oriented Strand Board) and the foam either polystyrene foam or polyurethane foam.
Sips allow the application of an internal and external structural skin and thermal insulation to a building in one stage, offering efficiency benefits. They are commonly use in conjunction with modern timber framed buildings.
