ACSI-SIPS
has superior strength, over 3 times the strength of conventional
2x4 construction. These three fused components provide a monolithic
"sandwich", which is stronger than mere individual
components.
Panels
have excellent compression, tensile adhesion, shear, and flexural
strength that ensures superior capability to support axial loads in
wall applications, high resistance to lateral loads caused by
earthquakes or high winds, thus increasing overall strength of the
house.
Superior
strength of the panels make a home more durable by greatly eliminating
settling effects.
ACSI-SIPS
have been proven under actual conditions to withstand seismic activity
in earthquake regions and high winds in hurricane-prone areas better
than any other structural material. Not only do test results show
panels are stronger, but real life natural
disasters have proven it time and again. The Great Hanshin
(Kobe, Japan) and North Ridge earthquakes, hurricane Andrew, a
Colorado tornado, a Portland gas explosion, and an Omaha fire have
done more to prove SIPS' durability to contractors, building
officials, architects, and home owners then all current scientific
tests.
