Esteemed Wrenches,
We have a PV job in the works that will require mounting racking to
several roofs that consist of asphalt shingles laid over SIP panels.
The panels are standard 10" nominal thickness, with 9-1/4" of foam
sandwiched by 1/2 OSB on each side. The rub is that the underside of
the panels will be the finished ceiling (with 5/8" of wood over the
OSB).
I found a couple of threads in the archives discussing mounting to
SIPs, but most comments suggest through-bolting, and that is not an
attractive option in this case due to the finished ceiling directly
beneath.
The roofs in question are triangular in plan, and are fairly small (~
15' x 15' x 21')
Does anyone have experience with mounting directly to the outer skin
of a SIP panel?
Suggestions on the best way to approach this problem would be
appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
