You forgot to mention brick. In essence any type of siding that can be used on a building can be used on a SIPS structure. Every type of finish siding has its own installation process, and that process doesn't vary that much when using SIPS. There are many variations for each type of siding, but the bottom line is: do what needs to be done to keep moisture away from your structure, and if it gets to the structure, give it a way out.

There are differences though compared to a standard stud install:
1) There are no wood or metal studs to nail or screw into.
2) The OSB layer is not easily replaceable, so water infiltration can cause problems than are very difficult to repair.
Because of these issues, I have found that preferred methods for most siding types over OSB SIPS include Tyvek and vertical furring strips. |

| I used vinyl and Nova Brick. Both worked great. If you are doing it yourself, these are bothe great options, the Nova Brick really cut the outside noise down a lot, but really keeps the wall hot till late in the night during the Summer. |

| We used lap siding cedar along with some board and batten for accented walls. No furring strips. We put Tyvek on first, then screwed everything into the SIP panels with Deckmate screws of the appropriate color (designed for use with synthetic decks, they will not deteriorate). We caulked all seams and around windows. |

Chris,
I, also, wish that Sidingmaster would identify the product.
It looks as if it has very regular spots with spacing about the same as the siding's width: The spots might be attachment points. If so, it might speed siding installation once it is up. IF that's what it is:
How does the time saved putting up the siding compare with the time needed to install the strips? And,
And how many different spacings are available?
Very respectfully,
Larry
