On-Site Kingspan TEK CPD: Seeing Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) in Action
Yesterday, our team at PARKdesigned architects stepped away from the office for Part 2 of our Kingspan TEK CPD — this time out on site at Albert House.
While the first session gave us excellent theoretical knowledge in the office, there’s nothing quite like witnessing Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) being installed in real time. The hands-on experience truly brings the technology to life.
Why We Invest in Continuous Learning
As residential architects Leeds, staying at the forefront of construction technology is essential. We’re committed to delivering high-performance, sustainable homes and apartment schemes for our clients across Yorkshire. This Kingspan CPD formed a key part of that ongoing development.
Hosted by Kris Taylor from Kingspan and supported by the team from Clays, the site visit allowed us to:
Observe the precision and speed of SIPs framing installation
Understand the practical challenges and solutions on a live project
Discuss the real-world performance benefits of Structural Insulated Panels
See how SIPs fit together with impressive accuracy — like a giant, high-performance jigsaw puzzle
The Benefits of SIPs in Residential Projects
Structural Insulated Panels offer significant advantages for modern residential developments, including:
Exceptional thermal performance and energy efficiency
Faster construction programmes compared to traditional methods
Improved airtightness and reduced thermal bridging
Enhanced sustainability credentials for new homes
These qualities make SIPs an excellent choice for the high-quality, contemporary residential schemes we design as Leeds residential architects.
Delivering Better Outcomes for Clients
At PARKdesigned architects, we believe investing in our team’s technical knowledge directly translates into better results for clients — whether delivering new-build apartments, refurbishment projects, or sensitive residential developments in Yorkshire.
This kind of practical, on-site learning helps us specify smarter, design more efficiently, and create homes that are not only beautiful but also future-proof and sustainable.
