Modular buildings manufacturer utilising its own high-performance SIPs system is providing a value-added service to contractors and self-builders with the use of SterlingOSB Zero boards from West Fraser

PROSIPS® is based on Deeside and serves a growing market where private customers, as well as experienced builders are seeking project specific kits comprising Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) able to meet the highest energy requirements, while offering technical support and still remaining affordable.

The company’s Elysian Home Extensions packages accordingly not only encompass full structural calculations and assistance in meeting Building Control requirements, but also include the ground-screw piles as required – while an erection service for the panels is also available.

Supplying modular structures across the UK

The founder and MD of PROSIPS®, Paul Dean commented: “I spent ten years in the modular sector, but as an installer, before deciding to set up my own manufacturing business; and now supply garden rooms, building extensions and other modular structures to contractors and end users across the whole of the country.

“It’s a highly streamlined business model with just half a dozen people working on contract in our premises near Chester, producing high quality bespoke kits.

“In the UK demand outweighs supply, especially when you look at traditional construction with its labour shortages, and the modular world is still at the start of the curve.

“My approach is to offer people who understand the system, high U-value kits at an affordable price, that they can erect and have watertight in less than two weeks. And at the heart of that is the SIPs panels we produce ourselves using SterlingOSB Zero – it’s a very strong and well proven product – more durable than its competitors and has never caused us a problem.”

Looking to the future, Paul Deen concluded: “We are currently producing a dozen or more kits per month – having floor areas around 50m2 – and we see the volume trebling this year, with plans for further expansion over the next five years.”

SterlingOSB Zero range

SterlingOSB Zero is available in a range of sizes and thicknesses up to 22mm as well as a T&G version ideal for flooring and decking applications.  The high-performance panel product, free of added formaldehyde, has also earned BBA approval and meets other industry technical requirements.
