Research suggests lower air leakage performance in homes built from Natural Structured Insulated Panels (n-SIPs).

Although several kit house suppliers in Scotland offer off-site SIPs, MAKAR’s system is based on natural, benign materials.

Our Scottish-grown timber, integrated with ventilation and microrenewable equipment and eschewing plastic components, offers a truly healthy, sustainable way of building. A blind test has now shown that the SterlingOSB zero boards, which form part of these n‑SIPs, show a variance of 20% when compared to one of its European competitors.

MAKAR’s Design and Business Development Lead, Scott Reid, sat down with West Fraser to discuss the SterlingOSB Zero technology used in MAKAR’s wall structures.
