What You Need To Know Before Considering SIPs For Your Project
What Are SIPs?
When many think of SIPs, they think of sandwich panel or stress / stressed-skin SIPs which are generally made up of two sheets of OSB glued to a foam core, generally polystyrene insulation. With this type of SIP Panel, the structural integrity of your home depends solely on the oriented strand board (OSB) skins and their glue bond to the foam insulation. Should the OSB become wet or damaged by moisture the panel will rot, losing it's structural integrity and the whole section of panel must be removed and replace. Moisture can lead to the growth of mold and mildew in polystyrene foam products. Another concern and all to common problem with these types of SIPs is glue failure or "delamination". Often new panels will show up on a jobsite already delaminating. Often with time the glue bond will begin to fail. Should this happen, your walls or roof will lose their structural element and could begin to bow out, sag or could even collapse. EPS foam is not fire-friendly and starts to lose its form and melt at around 180 degrees. With an increase in temperature the foam will burn, supporting a flame and fueling the fire, spreading it throughout the structure.
There is a smarter SIPs choice…
