What Makes a Dream All-Year-Round Garden Room?

Superior thermal efficiency from Hemsec SIPs, that’s what…

Whether you are building a garden room, annexe or house extension for an office, gym or chill-out room, then make sure you construct it using SIPs, the high-performance building system. SIPs are thermally efficient insulating the building up to 0.14 U-Value; they make your new living space cosy-warm in winter and super-cool in the summer, with great soundproofing. 

Plus of course it will look great, ‘wowing’ with contemporary designs, and maximizing space and light, as in our photographs, which are all provided thanks to JML Garden Rooms.

SIPs are Structural Insulated Panels, which means they can be used to form the main structure of the walls, floors and roofs. They are considered by many to be the future of house-building, so you’ll be staying ahead of the game with a SIPs-built space.

You don’t need any further insulation for the living space to stay warm in winter and cool in the summer, with very little or no electrical heating or cooling. That means very low energy bills for the residents. 

Structural strength and durability accredited by BBA

Hemsec SIPs are manufactured with a rigid Polyurethane (PUR) core of high thermal performance insulation, injected between two outer skins of oriented strand board (OSB/3).

This means when they are used for buildings, not only are they super-insulated, but they are also structurally extremely strong and durable. 

Hemsec’s SIPs are BBA accredited, which verifies that they have been tested, assessed and certified suitable for use within a building project framework. Only buildings created with BBA accredited SIPs are usually accepted for mortgages, so it’s important to check. 

Design flexibility, more room inside and well insulated

Architects have more freedom to design a creative, beautiful building using SIPs, because they can be engineered and fabricated for modern designs which incorporate a lot of light. 

There’s more room inside the building because the strong walls are relatively thin, and they are nice and quiet inside, thanks to the excellent insulation. 

There is growing evidence that the low running costs and environmental credentials increase the resale value of a SIPs building, too. Owners tend to be pretty evangelical about them, and spread the word amongst friends and family, so their popularity is spreading.
