Barrier to be a SIPA Gold Sponsor at International Builders Show

Barrier has secured a gold level sponsorship at the Structural Insulated Panel Association (SIPA) booth at the 2009 International Builders Show (IBS) January 20-23, 2009.

Produced by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), IBS is the housing industry's largest annual gathering. The 2009 IBS will feature more than 1,700 exhibitors displaying the latest in home and building products and services representing more than 250 industry categories. IBS also hosts 250 educational seminars on topics ranging from green building and design trends to construction codes and 50+ housing, as well as home tours and special events. NAHB estimates 90,000 industry professionals will attend the 2009 IBS.

Barrier will be presenting Blazeguard® Fire-Rated Sheathing solutions for the Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) industry. As a 20-minute thermal barrier on the inside face of a SIP, Blazeguard offers SIP-builders a factory-applied, code ready solution to fire resistance needs for panels in residential and commercial construction.

The Blazeguard booth will be constructed largely from Blazeguard-coated SIP panels.

Barrier will also be distributing its latest White Paper: Fire-Resistive Treatment of Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) for Commercial Roofing Systems -- at the 2009 IBS.

The Structural Insulated Panel Association (SIPA) is a non-profit trade association representing manufacturers, suppliers, fabricators/distributors, design professionals, and builders committed to providing quality structural insulated panels for all segments of the construction industry. Barrier is an active member of the SIPA's residential and non-residential marketing committee as well as its supplier committee.

As part of its gold level sponsorship, Barrier has secured a limited number of free four-day exhibit passes (non NAHB-member price is $200 per pass).
