I am wiring a SIP house, and the plans called for hanging a fan on the
ceiling. I contacted the manufacturer and they suggested cutting out a
rectangular section of the OSB board that extends well beyond the dimension of
my ceiling mounted round metal box. Then with a tool called a hot knife,
the Styrofoam was melted away. Next we gouged out more Styrofoam, several
inches beyond the cut out and slipped some 2x wood blocks into the hole and
screwed along the perimeter. Next screw the OSB cutout back in place, and now
there is a large area to screw into for your mounting foot. I hope this makes
sense.<br>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>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). <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
