Anyone ever hear of LeepCore SIP'S? Any thoughts on Leep's SIP'S? Here is their website... http://www.leepinc.com/

I have not used LeepCore SIPs, but have discussed their product with them. Are you wanting to invest in the company or just use their SIPs?

I'm curious about the profile of those LeepCore panels. What are those deep grooves for in the middle of the panel?

They are a chase that can be used for wiring and they have a cover that snaps over it

According to their literature, grooves makes the panel much stronger. I would like to use their panels but I think their lengths are still limited to 12'

Is it a bad thing that Leep's panels are limited to 12 feet? I am considering investing in this company, their LeepCore SIP'S appear to be the best SIP'S on the market. Would you agree? Thank you.

I'm interested in investing in the company. I became a member here to learn more about SIP'S. Leep's SIP'S appear to be the best SIP'S on the market, would you agree? Thank you.

This just my opinion but 12' long panels are fine for most walls for homes. But this length will require support for the roof every 12'. That is not bad - just something that needs to be considered. Taller walls than 12' can be balloon framed by staggering butt joints - no big deal. I think that Leep Inc. can reassure you about their panels. But do due diligence including financial. I really like LeepCore panels but have not used them yet. According to their web site they may have longer panels some day.

No, for practical purposes an engineered product needs an FBC product approval number in order to be used for a building without additional special engineering. This is a significant added cost/time for an unproven product that seems to have inherent limitations that other FBC approved products don't have. If I were an investor I would stay away. If I were a marketing representative I guess I would keep pushing them.

First off, thank you so much for taking the time to respond. Could you please tell me what an FBC product approval number is? Secondly, what limitations do you feel Leep's SIP's have? So in your opinion Leep's SIP's are not superior to the competitions? Thanks again, look forward to your response back.

OK, so I found out that FBC means Florida Building Code. What would it take for Leep's SIP's to get FBC approval? What are the limitations of Leep's SIP's versus the competition? What makes you say Leep's product is unproven, Leep has had sales to the U.S. Governemnt and major corporations like General Motors. Their product appears to be top notch.

they need to fix their website many broken links, not a good sign.

Some years back I met with one of the principals John Nordstrom, in fact I still have the sample he gave me in my office.
the drawbacks I saw at the time were:
Limited to 4" in thickness
panels wer not available individually , but only in pre- assembled sections that require a crane or jib to set in place,
I don't know if there methods have changed since then?
