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?

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.
