Duratherm SIPS
helping those
who care .
Our product, Duratherm SIPs for walls and roofs, is manufactured in Mexico and made out of the highest quality materials available. Researchers, worldwide, have concluded that SIP Panels offer the safest building alternative for earthquake zones. From Mexico to Southern California, from Chile to Haiti, SIPs have quickly become the tool of choice for rebuilding earthquake damaged structures.

There is a wide variety of SIP Panels that you can choose from. Our panels are a sandwich of two exterior sheets of fiber cement and an interior core of high-density expanded polystyrene (EPS), forming a monolithic unit ready to be used as wall  roof or floor. Therefore, they avoid the need for drywall or siding (a layer of synthetic stucco or elastomeric paint is sufficient) and offer insects like termites, ants or more no suitable food or lodging.
James Bryant is the Founder of Duratherm Building Systems and the designer of the Duratherm panel. For the past 10 years, Duratherm has been producing what they believe to be the strongest Structurally Insulated Panel  in the world. With zero failures in earthquakes and hurricanes (houses built with this product have endured 7.9 quakes and cat 5 hurricanes), this eco-friendly product reduces the carbon footprint of a building by 50-70%.  Bryant's desire to provide green technology solutions and responsible stewardship of natural resources is part of the core process of all business decisions and activities in which Duratherm engages.They say necessity is the mother of invention, and for Bryant, this proved to be true. With a goal to start building for retiring baby boomers on the coast of Oaxaca, the biggest concern in building down there is the earthquakes and hurricanes. Concrete and block are strong and rigid, but in a big quake, they consistently fail, due to that rigidity. Driven to find a safer way to build, research resulted in SIPs. The basic idea has been around for 85 years; however, Bryant adjusted his recipe to meet the needs of the harsh seismic and weather conditions of the tropical coast of Oaxaca, and in 2007 the company was born. Now, with factories in Oaxaca and Aguascalientes, in the past two years, company has shipped to the middle-east, to Africa, to the USA, and to Costa Rica. As mentioned before, with over 100 projects completed, the Duratherm system has never failed in an earthquake or a hurricane.
