Thinking that SIPS panels in a south Florida high humidity environment are not appropriate. Can SIPS panels be designed for high humidity environment?

You just need to place the vapor retarder at the correct plane - which would be outside the envelope for Florida... Just use a peel and stick over the SIPs, slap the tile cladding over the top, and you are good to go. ken hercenberg Senior Member Username: khercenberg Post Number: 195 Registered: 12-2006 Posted on Monday, April 23, 2012 - 03:24 pm:    Make sure that's high temperature 'peel & stick', preferably butyl rubber instead of rubberized asphalt. Learned that the hard way. Glad that you're going with clay tile. Use the right fasteners! Jerome J.

That was fun for the installer.
