Testing
Uniform Load Test @ 40 PSF
3 ½” DuraSip Panel verses 4 ½” Standard OSB Panel
4’ x 8’, 3 ½” Thick DuraSip Panel (58 pounds panel weight) with uniform 40 PSF live load (1,200 lbs)
Deflection = 0.13”
NOTE: This panel has not been optimized for maximum stiffness
4’ x 8’, 4 ½” thick typical OSB Panel (103 pounds panel weight) with uniform 40 PSF live load (1,200 lbs)
Deflection = 0.21”
NOTE: With optimization, a fiberglass DuraSip panel will be half the weight of a generic OSB wood faced panel and will have twice the stiffness. DuraSip panels are also water and rot proof, will not swell or change dimensions with humidity, will not support mold growth and have much higher fire resistance.
