BES-Pro-TEC Cement Board SIP


They say,"ProTec is a structural insulated panel system comprised of interior and exterior cement-fiber boards, with an extruded polystyrene (EPS) core. The system includes galvanized steel base plate, top plate and "H" splines (for panel to panel connection), as well as stainless steel fasteners to attach all components together.

The system has an R-Value of R-20, does not allow for mold and mildew to grow inside the walls, contains electrical chases within the panel, and has a 15-minute fire rating, so no furring or drywall is needed. The ProTec cement-fiber boards are non-combustible and lightweight and take conventional stucco directly to the outside. No special tools are need, so construction is fast and easy."


We say, The stucco look could be a way to go if it's done so that it looks rustic and real vs. the polished look of the fake Spanish style new homes going up all over FL.
