Super SIPs has been at the forefront of SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels) manufacturing since 2011, supplying many of the garden room, annexe, and extension companies regularly featured on The Garden Room & Annexe Guide. In addition to their trade supply services, they also offer direct-to-customer options, including pre-designed garden rooms, bespoke builds, and self-build kits in a wide range of styles and sizes.
Their garden rooms come in a variety of styles and sizes, offering solutions for every need, from compact office pods to house extensions to spacious multi-room living annexes. Customers can choose full installation packages or opt for self-build kits, which are designed to be accessible for competent DIYers. Super SIPs also provides panel-only and design services, allowing projects to be fully tailored to individual requirements.
Why SIPs Are a Popular Choice
SIPs have become a cornerstone of modern garden room & annexe design due to their numerous benefits:
- Quick Assembly: Panels arrive pre-cut and ready for fast construction, reducing build times significantly.
- Highly Insulated Core: The tightly sealed envelope ensures excellent thermal performance, ideal for year-round comfort.
- Cost Efficiency: SIPs provide strong structural integrity while remaining lightweight, which helps keep costs manageable.
- Customisation Ready: SIPs create a strong, insulated core structure, making it easy to tailor internal and external finishes to your style.
These qualities make SIPs an ideal choice for garden rooms, living annexes, and house extensions.

Flexible Options for All Builders
Super SIPs offers a full design package with their bespoke purchase option, including structural calculations and technical support to ensure a smooth installation by your preferred installer.
