The first question I asked is, Why is it called a SIP Panel?

I was told it stood for Structural Insulated Panel. Obviously I asked the first question, how is a flimsy OSB board structural, the answer to this was simply explained, it was not the board, but the timber used to join them together that made them strong, so without the timber it is not ( structural).

I was then told that the OSB boards were not fireproof, and only slightly water resistant, since then, the boards have got better with water, not fire.

So I decided I had to make the best board, and it has taken years of pushing and spending, and trial and error to get what we believe is the best OSB board ever manufactured.

Before anyone asks, yes we went to China, why?, because price, quality, and volume, if you want to hit the market, and get capacity, China is number one, Ask Apple!

Also we use an independent test laboratory on every 1000 boards to check quality.

Our new company is now looking for companies that are looking to add to their products a fire-waterproof OSB.If you are interested, please call us on +44 208 133 5164 and let’s have a chat!

The biggest question I have is why has this not been made into law that an OBS must have fireproofing and be waterproof?
