Our team proposed using SIP panels for the walls and ICORoof for the roof to address these challenges.
The following steps were undertaken:
1. Design and Planning:
We designed the extension to blend seamlessly with the existing property, featuring Hardieplank cladding with white windows, bifold doors, fascias, soffits & gutters. Building regulations approval were obtained by our team, saving the customer the hassle. We also obtained SAP calculations allowing the internal doors to be taken out and opened up.
2. SIP Panels for Walls:
SIP panels were selected for their excellent insulation properties, maintaining a U-value of less than 0.18. This choice not only ensured energy efficiency but also significantly reduced construction costs.
3. ICORoof Installation:
The ICORoof provided robust protection and additional insulation, complementing the SIP panels.
4. Cladding and Doors:
Hardieplank cement board cladding complimented the existing brickwork and the 2.5m bifold doors in white created a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.
5. Velux Windows:
An electric Velux window was added to enhance natural light and provide effective ventilation, improving the overall comfort and usability of the extension. Weather sensors will automatically close the window in the case of any rain.
