We supply SIP Structural Insulated Panel Frame Kits (structure + temporary weather protection). Permits, use/classification, placement rules and approvals are the customer’s responsibility and depend on the property, zone, size and intended use. We do not provide permitting services.

If you’re unsure whether approvals are required, you can request an official determination from the planning authority (e.g., via the relevant pre-application EA9 governmental process).

Designed as a Structural Insulated Panels shell kit. Any requirements for authority approvals, or intended use are assessed per site by the customer/their engineer and the relevant authority.

Included (Shell Kit + temporary weather protection) • SIP wall panels + SIP roof panels (CNC-cut, labelled) • Structural framing members required for assembly (as per your kit Size) breathable membrane (to protect panels until cladding) that stays on exterior walls permanentry • Roof waterproof membrane (permanent roof protection until final roof build-up) • Assembly drawings / panel schedule / fixings guidance (as you provide) Not included • Permits / approvals / submissions • Foundations/base works • Doors/windows, cladding, final roofing finish (standing seam, tiles, etc.) • Electrical/mechanical, plumbing, interior finishes

We can recommend installers/finish contractors, but any finishing works are contracted directly between you and the partner.

A factory-prepared structural shell: SIP wall + roof panels, cut and labelled for assembly, plus membranes to protect the shell until you install windows and final cladding/roof finish.

No. We supply the shell + protective membranes only. You choose glazing/cladding/finishes to suit your budget and style.

SIPs are shower resistant but are not intended to be left exposed. We include external wall + roof membranes to protect the shell short-term until final cladding and roofing are installed.

It depends on your plot, zone, size, location on the property, and intended use. In Cyprus, small structures are often considered “development” and may require planning/building permissions unless a specific exemption applies. You should confirm with the relevant authority or your architect/engineer.

No. We supply the kit. The customer (or their architect/designer/engineer) handles any approvals and submissions.

Only the competent authority can confirm. If in doubt, request an official determination before proceeding. https://www.moi.gov.cy/moi/tph/tph.nsf/applicationsfpa_el/applicationsfpa_el?opendocument=&utm_source=chatgpt.com (https://www.moi.gov.cy/moi/tph/tph.nsf/applicationsfpa_el/applicationsfpa_el?opendocument=&utm_source=chatgpt.com)

Step-by-Step Calculation Example (170mm Panel) • Layers: OSB (11 mm = 0.011 m), EPS (170 - 22 = 148 mm = 0.148 m), OSB (0.011 m). • ROSB1=0.0110.13=0.0846 R_{\text{OSB1}} = \frac{0.011}{0.13} = 0.0846 ROSB1​=0.130.011​=0.0846 m²·K/W. • REPS=0.1480.031=4.7742 R_{\text{EPS}} = \frac{0.148}{0.031} = 4.7742 REPS​=0.0310.148​=4.7742 m²·K/W. • ROSB2=0.0846 R_{\text{OSB2}} = 0.0846 ROSB2​=0.0846 m²·K/W. • Total R=0.0846+4.7742+0.0846=4.9434 R = 0.0846 + 4.7742 + 0.0846 = 4.9434 • R=0.0846+4.7742+0.0846=4.9434 m²·K/W. • U=14.9434≈0.202 U = \frac{1}{4.9434} \approx 0.202 U=4.94341​≈0.202 W/m²·K. Similar steps apply to the other panels.

Our materials/components are certified: • OSB Type 3 11mm, 15mm, 18mm • PUR Adhesive 150gr/m2 • EPS 100, 120, 150 • Fiber cement A1 • Drywall A2 The complete building system certification (foundations, footings & Structural frame is handled per project by the customer’s hired engineer or our independent partners if necessary under the law. Not included in Alden's SIP Kit Offers • Permits / approvals / submissions • Foundations/base works • Doors/windows, cladding, final roofing finish (standing seam, tiles, etc.) • Electrical/mechanical, plumbing, interior finishes Contractor network note! We can recommend installers/finish contractors, but any finishing works are contracted directly between you and the partner.

Our typical panel weights around 50-60kg and recommend 2–3 persons or lifting equipment depending on size.

Speed of Construction: What to Expect One of the primary advantages of the SIP system is the speed of assembly. A typical shell can be completed within 2 to 10 working days, depending on specific conditions. Realistic Timeline Factors: • Model Size: A 15 m² Garden Room shell kit can be erected in 3–4 days, while a larger 50 m² structure may require 7–10 days. • Crew Size: The ideal installation crew consists of 3–4 people. Working with fewer people may lead to delays in the process. • Site Access: The ease of transporting panels from the unloading point to the assembly area significantly impacts the total time required. • Foundation Readiness: The base (concrete slab or ground screws) must be perfectly level and ready upon the kit’s arrival. Any corrections needed to the foundation on the first day of assembly will cause significant delays.

Yes, but any cut edges/joints must be detailed and resealed properly to maintain performance.

Typical options: • Level concrete slab • Strip Foundation • Ground screws • Plinths All subject to site and engineer advice.

Electrical must be designed/installed by a qualified electrician; typical approach is service battens/cavities or protected conduits. Before you proceed always consult with a professional electrician as electricity is based on the indented use.

Possible, but large openings/roof penetrations can affect structure and detailing. Confirm at design stage; engineering may be required, be cautious to minimize the possibility of future leaks.

Conservative “standard kit limits” spans are at 400cm: “Anything beyond requires engineering review.
