Sipa furniture solution
Lighter, durable, and waterproof furniture cores with a lower environmental impact.
Standard and Plaat Detail have developed a new generation of lightweight cabin furniture systems, specifically tailored to the demanding requirements of the marine industry.
The development centers on a clear focus on solving two critical industry challenges: weight and sustainability. Cruise operators face growing pressure to reduce fuel consumption and the environmental footprint of their vessels. By significantly reducing the weight of cabin furniture, our new system contributes to lowering the ship’s overall weight, which in turn leads to better fuel efficiency and lower emissions throughout its life cycle.
Why SIPA?
- Up to 5 times lighter than traditional particleboard – this translates to significant weight savings for cruise ships and, consequently, lower fuel consumption.
- 100% waterproof – suitable for wet units and even the harshest marine environments.
- Sustainable inside and out – manufactured from recycled ocean plastic, turning waste into long-lasting design solutions.
Applications
- Cabin Interiors – Beds, wardrobes, and shelving with PET-foam cores.
- Bathroom Cabinets – Waterproof solutions ideal for high-humidity environments.
- Wall Panels – Custom sizes with thicknesses ranging from 20–100 mm and variable density options for extremely humid conditions.
