  • The company offers a full line of polyurethane-core SIPs with an emphasis on cement board-clad products for high-humidity areas. A wide array of cladding materials is available, including metal, plywood, and some finished wood products along with traditional OSB. Magnesium oxide is an option for the interior skin.
  • Insulated Rimboard
  • BUILDING PRODUCTS Magazine (3/31/2010)
  • Made just like a SIPs panel, E-Rim Insulated Rimboard consists of a sandwich of OSB and polyurethane foam, providing a tightly sealed, R-14 barrier around the beltline. According to the firm, the product is 20 times more airtight than conventional rimboard, and tested thermal performance is 12 percent better than a conventional system. E-Rim is available in all standard floor joist sizes.
