I am located in Indiana. Does anyone know if the following product exists?
A fiber-cement SIP where the outside skin is prefinished similar to Hardie board products.
Thanks |

You should be able to use whatever material you like on the outside of a fiber-cement SIP. We have used T1-11 and Smart Panel. Both are finished exterior products that can be applied to SIPS in factory. |

You can do exactly what you are asking for. There is a company in Florence Alabama who will glady make and ship your panels to you. There name is Southeastern Building Panels and there phone # is 866-327-3057. You can get several types of exterior finishes and they do use the Hardie brand as well as others. They made the panels for my house and I must say that it has turned out very nice. I will be moving in very soon. Good Luck, Sam |

Sammy,
Did you have the Hardipanels placed on both sides?
And, did they laminate them directly to the EPS?
And, finally, when they erected the structure (and installed the doors and windows), I assume that the only remaining tasks were to caulk the joints, add some trim, and then paint it?
Thanks,
Dick Mills |

Hey Dick, sorry about the late response to your post, I've been engulfed in my house for a few days. I do apoligize for misleading you. My panels are osb skinned. We used brick for the exterior and could not justify the upcharge for our panels just to cover it up. This was a hard decision to make also because you can get the Hardi put directly on the EPS. In the big picture it would have been much more econmical for me to have done this but my wife of 21 years asked me if I would like to make 22 years. I have seen the fiber cement panels put together several times and your assumptions are correct. It is a little more invloved than that but it is close. Putting in the doors and windows is real neat because they go in so fast, also assuming the panels are cut properly. If you do decide to go with fibercement (good stuff) the weak link is in the transport of the panels. Shipping companies don't seem to have a clue as to what they are hauling they just ratchet the straps down until nothing can move. The panel company I used took some extra steps for me to make a safe journey for the panels. I hope this has been of some help.
Thanks, Sam Ramsey
In God I trust

A company called ThermaSAVE in Florence, AL makes fibercement panels. They have four or five plants throughout the country with supposedly a new one in Richmond, IN coming this spring.
They will even use the stucco simulated panels so that all you have to do is caulk the seams and paint.
It is a very strong product and has passed several fire and shake tests (earthquake resistance) with flying colors. They will ship to where ever you are.
I am planning to use them on my new house next year. |

I'm using fcb skins from Global here in Charleston, SC & will post how all goes. I'm looking into using StoCoat Lotusan - exterior wall coating that "mimics the self cleaning capabilities of the lotus leaf." The environmental friendliness = no detergents or excessive water use to keep it clean.

Would it be feasible to make a fiber-cement SIP out of something like a Nichiha Brick Facade panel? Does anyone do this? I'd love to have the outside finished with the brick look (without the additional cost of laying brick or redundantly hanging Nichiha panels over fiber cement board SIPs), the inside ready for a natural clay plaster, and have all of the other labor saving advantages of fiber-cement SIPs. I want fiber-cement SIPS, but my wife doesn't want stucco exterior walls... What I think I'd really like is to use the stone Nichiha panels http://www.nichiha.com/prod_stone_panels.htm on the walkout basement and the chimney, and the brick http://www.nichiha.com/prod_brick_panels.htm on the other exterior walls. Such a Nichiha Fiber Cement SIP, seems to me like a very good cost-saving combination. Am I missing something (other than finding noone who has ever done this)? regards, Grant |

Grant;
a good stucco man can do a brick or siding facade that you can't tell with out close examination.
many Wendy's were done with colored stucco brick |

Grant,
To answer your fantastic question as to why nobody has thought of using Nichiha panels for "skins" is........... it has been considered by us over a year ago, but Nichiha engineers were unwilling to release engineering information regarding their products. they would only recommend their products for finishes only. Keep your hat on. We are working on it. |
