SIPS Roof - Channel 4 The Streets 27-Dec-23

[Tetrarch]

I should shortly be getting permission to change my roof. I'm aiming to make the roof "thicker" in order to extend the eaves to allow for some EWI. I'm having a new roof for sure, but exactly how it is to be constructed is an open question. 

 

I just watched "Channel 4 - The Streets"

I actualy got quite excited about the thought that SIPS panels would deliver exactly the sort of effect I'm after whilst massively improving the insulation values of the house. How do I find out if this is a suitable idea and not just a flight of fancy?

Regards

Only an architect or structural engineer would be able to answer that one.

 

There's some good stuff at Graven Hill, Bicester.

One of the show / experimental houses has sips roof.

Well worth a visit if your ever close by as nearly every type of construction method has been done there and some of the results are stunning. 

I expect some of the owners are on here.
