SIPit‑FR is a next‑generation structural insulated fire panel engineered for high‑risk wall applications in residential and multi‑residential buildings. Tested to BS EN 1365‑1, the panel delivers a certified REI 60/60/60 fire rating — meaning loadbearing strength (R), integrity (E), and insulation (I) are all maintained for a full 60 minutes, with fire resistance proven from both sides.

Where SIPit‑FR Is Used
Boundary walls close to neighbouring properties
Party walls between apartments or attached dwellings
Any wall requiring a certified 60‑minute fire rating
These applications demand predictable fire performance, structural stability, and minimal heat transfer — all areas where SIPit‑FR excels.
Key Advantages
REI 60/60/60 performance in a single factory‑made panel
A1‑rated CMC facings for fully non‑combustible wall surfaces
Structural loadbearing capacity built into the panel
High‑performance thermal insulation
Faster installation than multi‑layer fire‑rated systems
Reduced risk of installation error and simpler inspection
SIPit‑FR replaces complex build‑ups of plasterboard, mineral wool, membranes, battens, and cladding with one integrated, compliant solution.
Why SIPit‑FR Matters for Boundary Walls
Boundary walls are notoriously difficult to build when space is tight or access is restricted. SIPit‑FR solves this by allowing direct application of spray cork render to the external face — eliminating the need for:
Ventilated cavities
Cavity barriers
Fire‑rated membranes
Battens and counter‑battens
A1‑rated cladding systems
This makes SIPit‑FR one of the simplest and most compliant boundary wall solutions available in the UK today.
