Advantages of building with SIPs
There are many advantages of building with Duratherm SIP products!
If your goal is to build a stronger, safer, more energy efficient home or building, that is also environmentally friendly & financially practical in much less time than normal building systems, than building with Duratherm SIPs is the solution.
The Duratherm Mexico SIP panels are unique when compared to normal SIP systems.
In an effort to target safety, Our Duratherm structural insulated panels recipe begins with a polystyrene core, of the highest density used in the industry; furthermore, we have chosen to use the stronger outer sheeting of cement sheet (like Hardibacker) not OSB (oriented strand board). The cement sheeting offers several advantages to the end customer. To begin with, you avoid the cost of sheet rock or waterproofing to the panels as they arrive from the factory ready for painting or tiling etc. saving you money and time. In the long term, this product will lower your cost of maintenance and will provide a mold free environment with far greater ease than its wooden (OSB) cousin.

What are sips?
SIPs definition: structural insulated panels with a polystyrene core used for modern roofs & walls to build an earthquake proof house & efficient green thermal home designs for hot and cool climates. Structural insulated panels (SIPs) are high performance building panels used in construction of floors, walls, & roofs in residential & light commercial buildings. “SIPs share the same structural properties as an I-beam or I-column. SIPs replace several components of conventional building such as studs and joists, insulation, vapor barrier and air barrier. As such they can be used for many different applications such as exterior wall, roof, floor and foundation systems.” - wikipedia Structural Insulated Panels SIPs are fire resistant, self-extinguishing and non-toxic. Their thermal insulation properties are superior to those of other products:
No other building material on the market can effectively compete with these Duratherm panels for the extreme safety and comfort that is also affordable. SIP sizes & prices Floor and roof panels are 6” thick. Wall panels are 4″ thick. All panels have both facings of 3/8 in. thick hardboard fiber cement sheet panel. Panels come in lengths of 8′ or 10′ or 12′. SIPs are easy to cut with standard hand tools which eliminates complications on the job site. We can however always cut the panels for you at our factory. We prepare the panels for easy assembly by placing identifying marks before shipping them to you for assembly. |
Eco Friendly
Our panels are made of renewable materials that are 100% recyclable. The UN has approved this material for green building projects. The added insulation of the polystyrene creates a far more efficient home than conventional timber or concrete building methods. The polystyrene insulation of the panels provide great sound proofing & thermal resistance qualities. Savings Normal saving on utility costs are between 50% and 70% due to our 5 star polystyrene insulation. This lowers your carbon foot print and promotes a cleaner world. Duratherm SIPs are a clean product that produce no greenhouse gases. The Insurance companies agree with our assessment and lower rates are available. SIPs qualify under the new cap & trade bill as an approved energy efficient product. SIPs – an approved building material for earthquake zones 
In 2004, the International Code Council’s Evaluation Service (ICC-ES)approved the use of structural insulated panels (SIPs) on the West Coast of the USA where high-risk seismic zones exist (Seismic Categories D1, D2, and E.)
This is good news for all building professionals and home buyers who want a stronger, safer home with the energy savings and comfort that SIP built homes provide. Less waste We have simplified our system and increased our production time by using cutting edge adhesives and refined assembly methods. The panel factory in Mexico makes each structural insulated panel as a sandwich. The outside surfaces are fiber cement sheet and the core is EPS (expanded polystyrene) used for insulation. This simple sandwich panel forms an amazingly strong insulated panel for building. You can then use any kind of finishing, stucco, tile or rock.
