INNOVATIVE DESIGNS
WITH Sips Eco Panels
FC
■ S ips Eco Panels are pre-engineered, insulated, load bearing panels, which form
the exterior envelope of the building.
■ Sips Eco Panels replace traditional construction methods by combining structure,
insulation, air and vapour barriers into one component.
■ Air leakage associated with traditional construction and timber frame is virtually
eliminated when using Sips Eco Panels. The insulation is continuous eliminating
thermal bridges and providing the end user with comfort and low energy costs.
■ Sips Eco Panels are stronger than conventional timber frame construction.
They are recognised for resistance to lateral loads caused by high winds and
even earthquakes.
■ Sips Eco Panels are lightweight and easy to install, but they sound solid. This
means a solid andconsistent quality.
■ The speed of assembly combined with energy savings benefits and eco friendly
construction makes them the logical choice.
■ Sips Eco Panels are composed of expanded polystyrene insulation laminated
between 2 sheets of OSB (oriented strand board).
■ The strength of all connection details and components that tie Sips Eco Panels
to all other structural elements must be selected to ensure adequate vertical
and horizontal load paths within the structure.
■ The specification and design of these items must be determined by the building
engineer responsible for the stability of the building. Guidance on the design of
connection details must be sought from Sips Eco Panels
■ In general Sips Eco Panels do not incorporate lintels. Spanning over openings
is achieved through the use of rim beams at floor or roof level. The sizing and
bearing of the spanning rim beam shall be determined in the design process.
In some cases lintels will be required below high point loads.
■ Sips Eco Panels are packaged for weather protection. When they arrive on site,
they should be stored on level blocking. They must be protected from rain,
snow or morning dew. By taking these measures, the panels will be easier
to install.
■ Panels are joined together using splines. The panel joints must be structurally
fastened to ensure the integrity of the panel system
■ Panel annotations (where relevant) on drawings show a reference number and
this number must face to the outside of the building when panels are being
installed.
■ Screws are used to fasten panels.
■ Please read the manual and consult the manufacturer for instructions.
■ Read the manual in numerical order.

TOOLS NEEDED
omply with the current Building Regulations subject to use.
C
Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Handle the panels with care.
Provide solid level platform for storage of panels.
Cover the panels from moisture when not in use.
Remove debris from panel connection areas prior to panel placement.
Keep timber studs indoors or protected to prevent swelling.
Fit vapour control layer VCL to inside face of Sips Eco Panels.
Fit breather membrane to external face of Sips Eco Panels.
DON’T
■ Cut into the skin of the panels without approval from the manufacturer.
■ Insert wiring without adequate protection and approval from the manufacturer.
■ Cut out openings for windows and doors without approval from manufacturer.
■ T
o build with Sips Eco Panels all you
need are regular carpentry tools plus
a FEIN MULTIMASTER or similar or
hot knife and expanding foam.
■ A FEIN MULTIMASTER or similar or
hot knife are tools for routing out
grooves in the EPS and are needed
whenever Sips Eco Panels need to be
cut to size.
■ Heavy duty foam gun ensures easy
application and long term use.
■ Expanding foam is used to seal all
connections between individual
panels and top and bottom plates
ensuring the structural integrity of
the system.

N.B. The block may overhang the cavity by a small
amount due to difference in width from the SIP panel
and the erectors must ensure that the DPC is lapped
over the outside face of the coursing bricks to stop
water ponding on top of the overhang. It is possible
that to avoid this the block could be flush with the floor

Sips Eco Panels, easi-wall system and easi-roof system, are an advanced yet affordable form of construction that
arrive on site pre-insulated and replace timber frame, blockwork or trusses for houses, extensions, garden rooms
and other forms of construction.
Panels are manufactured in our own factories and can be supplied as blank panels or pre-cut to suit.
Our panels have full third party accreditation and technical information is available on our web site
Sips Eco Panels offer air-tightness that is far superior to current Building Regulations, with U-values down to 0.12
in one layer through the whole wall structure, making homes super insulated - ensuring low running costs.
It is important all fixings are used properly to maintain the air-tightness benefits the system offers.
The details and information in this manual are for guidance of the erection of panels and flooring only. They
are not site specific. Refer to the relevant panel drawings for the site, which should be read in conjunction with
the approved Building Regulation drawings and must be adhered to and take priority over standard details. For
sundry items refer to Sips Eco Panels Construction Manual.
