Whats New at California SIPS:
Curved SIPs eliminate most of the bending whether used as shown, where the skins are mostly all in compression, or upside down where the skins would be mostly in tension. >More

Fire Resistant Homes
Panels
Fire Resistant
The panels that we use have had extensive fire testing and carry the mark of Underwriters Laboratory Inc. The panels also have documented performance having been subjected to test standards of ASTM – E 119, E-84, and UBC 26-3. Higher fire resistive standards beyond minimum standards can be achieved by using 5/8 type X gypsum (instead of ½) or coating the panels with fire resistant paint such as NoBurn.
Plus, Termite Resistant
Our panels have been treated with an insecticide protecting against destructive termites.
And, Greener Walls
It always bothered us (and still does) how much waste goes into a dumpster when framing a house. Environmentally responsive SIPS produce 30% less waste than traditional construction, reducing operating costs and conserving natural resources.
The EPS foam that makes up the insulation core of the panel is dimensionally stable and inert – there is no off gassing. In addition, EPS material emits no ozone –depleting chemicals during the manufacturing process.
Many Energy efficient SIPs buildings have achieved LEED Platinum (highest level) status. LEED is the yardstick used by the US Green Building Council to measure the environmental impact of buildings.
