ZIP System® R-sheathing from Huber Engineered Woods LLC

 Saturday, August 6, 2016

zipHuber Engineered Woods LLC, a leading manufacturer of innovative building solutions, has introduced a new R-9 insulation thickness to its ZIP System® R-sheathing line.

 

ZIP System® sheathing and tape is an innovative structural roof and wall system with an integrated water resistant and air barrier that streamlines the weatherization process and transforms it with a simple two-step installation. ZIP System® R-sheathing solutions for residential, multifamily and light commercial construction are structurally approved engineered wood sheathing panels with built-in polyisocyanurate continuous foam insulation. Like the original ZIP System® sheathing and tape products introduced in 2006, ZIP System R-sheathing solutions include an integrated water-resistive barrier that eliminates the need for housewrap and are completed with advanced acrylic ZIP System™ flashing tape to seal panel seams.

 

ZIP System™ tape is so easy it turns taping into a one-man job; and so fast, it installs 40% quicker than housewrap.

 

“Some areas of the country, such as New York state and Dallas, Texas, will soon adopt the 2015 IECC codes, which include requirements for continuous exterior insulation. With the introduction of the new R-9 rated ZIP System R-sheathing panel, we will have an insulation solution for all climate zones,” said Allen Sealock, product director for ZIP System products.

 

ZIP System® R-sheathing is available with a variety of insulation thicknesses to meet different levels of desired R-value. The new R-9 rated ZIP System R-sheathing option was designed specifically to help builders meet prescriptive continuous foam insulation R-value requirements outlined in the 2015 International Energy Conservation Code requirements.
