Moderators dtel Posted November 4, 2020 Moderators Share Posted November 4, 2020 Thank you, we will, were going to refinish some oak floors, 4 rooms. Sand and coat with satin or something similar. So except for working with a friend which is nice it will be work, probably see bonehead also it's been a while. I will try to get a picture of the floors when done, should look good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACME is out of Virginia and you can get there panels with MgO installed, which has some specific applications, but all of the SIPs are pretty much the same. 20 years ago, I convinced a modular manufacturer to build some homes using the panels and as most other things go, the average consumer won't spend the additional funds upfront, to save over the long run, or pay for the structural advantages. They are used a lot in Post Frame construction, and as soon as I settle in on a property, my construction building will be built using all SIPs.

babadono Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I built with ICFs, neighbor behind me built with SIPS. Both homes are super comfy and easy to heat/cool(efficient) So much, much better than the conventional sticks and pink stuff that 99.9% of the homes are built with around here.

It's the only thing I'll even quote. I've been using them for over 30 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy near us did, the main surprise for them was how quiet they are. Like Pete, we are considering timber frame or post and beam with SIPs.
