Trying to locate a Western Canadian supplier of metal SIPs. We are building a residential 3 story structure that requires non combustible walls. Are there any Canadians on here? If not does anyone know another forum where they are more active?

non combustable is ICF or block or brick or stone

The term I heard was non combustible... will have to dig deeper, It's been hard to get a straight answer from the inspector. All I know at this point is ICF would work to satisfy the requirement.... as well as steel stud or at least 8x8 wood timbers with steel stud infill.
I guess I saw this and assumed with all the flames it would work! https://structuralpanels.ca/product/rockwall-fire-rated-wall-panels/

https://www.gsbp.ca/ is the only Canadian place i have found. Shipping via flat deck is a small coat compared to the whole project IMO

There are several OSB SIPs manufacturers that have one and two hour rated assemblies for thier SIPs. I assume that it should be similar to other major cities where the buidings are lesss than 10 foot apart that they require a fire rated wall assembly. There is a manufacturer in Alberta and one in Montana that have the published assemblies in thier code reports.
