OSB Stack
SIPs manufacturers use various different materials as the facing, but oriented strand board (OSB) is the main material currently in use.There are two main reasons why OSB is the facing of choice for SIPs manufactures. First, it is highly engineered wood product that has been rigorously tested and found to be structurally supportive enough to act as a load-bearing wall. Second, OSB is readily available in multiple dimensions, a criteria demanded by the SIPs industry.

Foam Laminates of Vermont uses the highest quality OSB currently available to manufacturers. In addition, our OSB panels have a fully waterproof bond with an Exposure 1 rating by the Engineered Wood Association (APA). An Exosure 1 rating means that our SIPs are designed for applications and locations where potential long construction delays could result in significant exposure to weather. Finally, our SIPs are treated with an an edge sealant in order to combat the tendency of wood to absorb moisture.
