SIP's Construction Panels, anyone used them?
Discussion
As this would be an extension to a 1980 built home it had been suggested that the insulation would be far superior to the existing property and this could cause problems ??, I plan to improve the insulation in the rest of the house but may struggle to get close to the performance of the SIP's. Another concern was that is does not appear to be widely used , is there a reason for this ? it sounds almost too good to be true with no drawbacks other than the insulation compatibility when used for extensions.
P.S. I have no building experience personally other than having a garage built which this extension will be above.
