Posted By DAND on 07 Feb 2013 02:11 PM Yes Chris they fit unless they don't fit, there in lies the problem with metal (no wiggle room). And you are limited to narrow panels with metal, you may find 48" metal panels, but I have never found a 96" metal panel. I wish I could find an 8' wide metal panel for my roof. If you know of one please let me know, I'm in the market for some. DAND, You will also not find 53 ft. long wood sips either, metal with no seam fastening required is much faster than nailing splines

Wow this seams to have turned into a debate between OSB Sips and metals sips. LOL totally not my intent. I have chosen metal sips for my home. I got an email from PermaTherm and they said because the panels are made in a continuous fashion that no drawing optimization is need for MIPs

$50/hr if I do it, $75/hr if you watch, $100/hr if you help!
