Hey everyone, I'm new to SIPS but let me start by saying thanks for all the great info. I will be reading a lot. I plan on building in Shreveport, La. I have no idea what zone that is, can anyone tell me or direct me to where I can locate that info. Also need SIPS suppliers, preferably within a 4 hour drive. One last quick question. With my limited knowledge of sips construction I have a concern that is very difficult to make any repairs to a home with sips construction in which the sips panel itself is damaged. If there is water damage to osb skin, how is this repaired. Thanks

there are about 20 sips manufacturers in the country, start calling them for basic info

Feel free to contact me for discussion about SIPs, SCIPs, ICF, etc. See e-mail address below.
