Choosing the Right Windows and Doors
Windows and doors are crucial elements of a SIP house, influencing both its appearance and energy efficiency. When selecting windows, it is important to consider not only their style and design but also their practical aspects, ensuring they complement the house’s insulation qualities and meet the same energy efficiency requirements. Similarly, doors should be chosen with attention to design, safety, soundproofing, and durability. Their placement should align with the house project and its surroundings, while the material plays a key role in performance.
Among various options, PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is a popular and recommended choice for windows and doors in SIP houses due to its durability and efficiency.

High-Quality Windows and Doors Material
The most recommended material for windows and doors of SIP houses is PVC. PVC windows and doors paired with SIP advantages enhance the house’s thermal performance by creating exceptional insulation properties.
Both SIP and PVC materials have low thermal conductivity, which means that temperatures inside the house remain stable because heat during summer cannot enter the house and doesn’t escape easily during the cold season. This leads to not only comfortable living with stable indoor temperature but also reduces the need for excessive heating or cooling – it is a great money-friendly choice for those who want lower energy bills.
Great Insulation Properties
Another great advantage of PVC windows is soundproofing and insulation features. There are several SIP house window types regarding soundproofing and insulation qualities depending on your needs. For the best characteristics, Timber Cabins recommends choosing triple-glazed PVC windows to help reduce external noise and provide the best possible insulation.
Incorporating windows into the doors also creates a well-insulated structure since we offer triple-glazed door windows with 4 mm thickness of glass and 40 mm thickness of whole triple glazing. More glass layers mean greater insulation and excellent energy efficiency performance of the house. The combination of high-quality insulation in both PVC doors and windows helps keep the home comfortable year-round.
Design Variety

PVC windows and doors stand out for their durability – they won’t swell, warp or rot as wood windows and doors might, even in humid or wet climates. It is also very low-maintenance since they do not need to be painted regularly and don’t require special treatment, unlike wood.
PVC doors also provide great safety features. Timber Cabins offer four roller locks with inward and outward opening of doors.
