projects. As a core component of structural panelized Modern Methods of Construction( MMC), Hemsec timber SIPs are helping to lead the way in delivering smarter, more efficient approaches to building.
Hemsec timber-faced Structural Insulated Panel( SIP) cores are manufactured using polyurethane – known for being one of the most insulated products on the planet. They can be used for internal and external walls, roofs, and floors in domestic, industrial, and commercial construction. In an evolving market, a key focus for Hemsec SIPs is their potential contribution to the Zero-Bill Home Initiative- demonstrating that mass-market MMC construction with timber SIPs is not only achievable- it’ s essential.
Hemsec is working closely with the UK Government and plays an active role in the All-Party Parliamentary Group( APPG) for Modern Methods of Construction. This helps to shape policy and remove barriers to MMC adoption across the housing sector- from affordable homes to social housing. Hemsec hosted Matthew Pennycook( Minister of State at the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government) at its Huyton site for the most recent APPG meeting. They were joined by other members of the APPG, as well as Annalise Midgley, MP for Knowsley Council, who chaired the meeting.

The visit from Minister Pennycook underscores a shared vision between industry and government: to accelerate the adoption of MMC and make Zero-Bill Homes a mainstream reality.
“ The Huyton factory sets a standard in the manufacturing of houses,” elaborates Tim.“ We know we can build 2000 sustainable
