Random reply from a contractor PM...if you haven't gotten the answer already, the answer would depend on the support requirements based on the weight of the object(s)--typically SIPs have a 7/8" OSB sheathing on both sides, which is actually pretty strong itself, and will support most anything with an appropriate distribution of wood-rated fasteners (screws). Larger items would (should) need additional solid wood framing/backing or fur studs to provide dedicated mounting positions. When in doubt, add more solids!
@@tmckenzie777 Thanks, that makes sense. Just used to always having to find at least one stud to hold up anything even sort of heavy. It looks like they often fly even really large sips panels into place with just a plate and maybe half a dozen screws, so i guess OSB is stronger than I thought.
Many thanks for the great introduction to the sips.
Would be great to see the updated builders guide.
You may find more information on our FREE Publications section: www.sips.org/publications.
Many thanks! yet lacks of real details on installation and use.
Great video. One question. How, or is it possible, to mount heavier items (cabinets, maybe a giant TV) to a SIP wall?
