WORKING WITH THE FORCES OF NATURE
HURRICANE, EARTHQUAKE, TORNADO, FIRE
Oceansafe has an interlocking panel design which creates a continuous wall and roof. This allows the structure to become one unit and use all its capacity to support vertical loads as well as provide resistance to local loads, buckling, and bending.
This is why a SIP structure, when hit by a tornado, may move off its foundation, yet will stay intact. Because structural failure is highly unlikely, SIPs carry the highest seismic rating in California. Also, Oceansafe structures have a renewable 10 year warranty to withstand winds up to 150 mph.
Many times, in the event of wildfires, homes are not in the direct line of fire. It may be a single ember that lands on the roof or flames that follow a wooden fence to penetrate one of the walls of the home. With the steel skin of an Oceansafe panel, it will take a fire longer to penetrate the envelope of the home allowing for longer escape time and possibly result in no penetration at all.
NO MOLD, NO TERMITES

Resistance to mold means very minimal cleanup in the event of flooding and a clean environment for those who suffer allergies. - The Oceansafe panel’s steel skins are filled with an insect resistant foam and offer no food value to insects.
