How do R-Control SIPS resist termites, mold, mildew, and decay?

R-Control SIPS are no more susceptible to insect infestation than other forms of construction. However, R-Control SIPS has identified and thoroughly researched two products to provide protection of your investment. First, the insulation core of an ThermaFoam R-Control SIP is R-Control SIPS with borate. R-Control SIPS with borate is manufactured with an additive to provide termite resistance and is recognized as meeting ICC-ES requirements for termite resistance.

R-Control SIPS can be additionally protected with borate Coating. FrameGuard coating protects the OSB facings from termites, mold, mildew, and decay. Most importantly, this includes a 20 year warranty and GreenGuard^® certification for indoor air quality. Even with these effective treatments, preventative building practices should be employed by the builder, and maintained by the homeowner.
