SIPs U-Values
Below is a selection of U-Value calculations for different thicknesses of Sips Eco Panels used in a roof and wall constructions. NB - because the SIP panel provides the bulk of the insulation, altering the roofing finish does not drastically affect the U-Value. All dimensions are nominal and within a tolerance of +/-3mm
Wall Type 1 = 102.5mm brick, 60mm cavity, breathable reflective membrane, SIP wall panel at specified thickness, vapour membrane, 25mm service batten, 12.5mm plasterboard, 3mm skim
Wall Type 2 = 5mm render, 12mm MGO panel exterior, breathable membrane, SIP wall panel at specified thickness, 25mm service battens, 12.5mm vapour check plasterboard, 3mm skim.
Wall Type 3 = 18mm Timber cladding, 50mm ventilated cavity, reflective breathable membrane, SIP wall panel at specified thickness, 25mm service batten, 12.5mm vapour check plasterboard, 3mm skim.
Roof Type 1 = Standard clay tiles, 25mm tiling batten, 25mm counter batten, breathable roofing membrane, SIP roof panel at specified thickness, 25mm service void, vapour check plasterboard, 3mm skim.
Roof Type 2 = Standard clay tiles, 25mm tiling batten, 25mm counter batten, breathable roofing membrane, SIP roof panel at specified thickness, 25mm service void, 50mm Thermaline super, 3mm skim.
