  • Thought I’d put this here in the first instance - apologies if it’s already been asked / answered, it’s a big thread and the search function shows nowt!

    Question: has anyone on here built anything with sips? I have questions!

  • Yes, I built my garden studio from SIPS. So it’s a freestanding structure, not an extension of a brick/block building.
    What are your questions?

  • I’ll bullet point these, any answers would be appreciated!

    • What kind of base/foundation did you go for? Would you do it again or different? (Realise this is pretty subjective based on location etc)

    • What did you join the panels with in terms of adhesive? Seen everything from pu glue, foam, specialist sip mastics (in the states). PU glue seems to be the go to in the UK? Obviously the adhesive is crucial as it’s what really joins the panels and provides the air sealing.

    • Have you had any problems? Either on install or long term? Seems the general consensus is sips are great if done right but crap if done badly.

    • What would you do different, if anything?

    • Any tips?

    Sorry for the many questions! Any answers appreciated.
