You may ask yourself “What is a SIP?” Structural Insulated Panels (SIP) are pre engineered building systems, manufactured in a controlled environment and shipped to site ready for erecting. Structural panels consist of an inner rigid insulating core of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) and two outer skins of Orientated Stranded Board (OSB) and 6mm Nutec, this works by sandwiching the solid core of insulation between two skins of OSB and Nutec. When engineered and assembled, a structure built with SIP panels has no need for any framework to be built. The panels form the strength, insulation, and envelope of the building; they are also used for the roof and internal load bearing walls.

I bet you are wondering what the advantages of SIP buildings are? To put it simply, no building material can build as efficiently, as fast, with as much design flexibility, or as economically as a SIP building supplied by GreenBuild SA. The superior performance of SIP’s can be found in the real world, where SIP houses have survived earthquakes & hurricanes while other structures have succumbed to nature.
Our SIP panels have gone through various tests that the industry has required and we have always proved victorious. All our building materials are SABS and/or ISO9000 approved. Thus guaranteeing you a safe, energy efficient and cost effective structure.
We offer a range of products, this would include the DIY enthusiast, the Executive that would just like to supervise over a weekend and the Property Developer that would like to offer a more cost effective product and thus open a whole new market.
