IBC offers accessories for your use in your SIPs framing installation. Accessories are custom produced so they work flawlessly with our SIP panels.
SIP tape is a patented, pressure-sensitive, highly durable and superior tape that prevents moist air from penetrating the seams between panels and along roof lines. The tape is formulated with a permeance of less than 1. The combination of the OSB skins and the SIPs tape meets the building code requirements for vapor retarders.
Surface Preparation:
All surfaces must be clean, dry and free of dirt, grease, oil and any other contaminants that
may interfere with adhesion. Do not apply SIP Tape on the underside of roof panels prior to
the installation of the roofing underlayment and final roof covering. Any panel damage must
be repaired prior to applying tape. Surfaces temperature of the material SIP Tape is
being applied to should be 20 degrees Fahrenheit or warmer.
FAILURE TO ADEQUATELY MATE THE TAPE TO THE OSB SURFACE CAN RESULT IN INADEQUATE ADHESION AND FAILURE OF THE SIPS TAPE.
A foam scoop is a heating element with a handle that you can use to remove foam from the edges of a panel. Most panel projects are pre-fabricated, but there can be circumstances that will require you to modify a panel in which a foam scoop will be necessary.
For example, you may want to make a window larger, and after enlarging the opening bigger the foam will need to be recessed so you can insert lumber around the window.
Or you may have a project that you would like to fabricate on your own, in which case we will send you blank stock panels. A foam scoop is then necessary to recess the panels for any lumber you may need to install.
Solid aluminum SIP saw base is capable of clamping to the bar of any chain saw.
The indexed and locking rotation feature allows the base to firmly hold your saw at a cutting angle of up to 90 degrees in either direction.
