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

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

ThermaFoam 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.
