linda | Posted - 20 December 2002 10:48    We are installing SIPs on our timber frame home. What roofing has worked best for others? What avoidable problems have been experienced with the wall and roof panels? We have a contractor putting on the panels who makes his living doing this. He has put roofing on the roof panels (on other jobs)in the same way as a conventional roof. That worries me. Do any of you have war stories you would share about this process? I found one message that referenced an earlier message on this subject, but I was unable to find the first message. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. |

Neither will happen if the panels copy the Nascor Canadian optimized framing system. It has the sheathing and the foam with mechanical fasteners to studs thus backing up the glue and tightly reducing moisture penetration. |
