5-in-1 System with Layers of Innovation
For installation convenience and exceptional, long-term performance, the all-in-one ZIP System® R Sheathing panel provides a new approach to sealing and insulating the building envelope. One panel delivers thermal, air and moisture resistance, while providing excellent strength and durability.
Continuous Foam Insulation Provides Higher R-value
- - Increases thermal performance while eliminating thermal bridging
- - Designed to meet new energy codes
Engineered Wood Provides Structure and Durability
- - Nailable wood base for trim and accessories
- - Provides security against easy home intrusion
Built-In Water Resistive Barrier Eliminates Housewrap and Felt
- - Eliminates costly rework
- - Instant rough dry-in with 180-day exposure guarantee
- - Optimal permeance allows panel to breathe and dry out
Continuous Air Barrier Creates Greater Energy Efficiency
- - Decreases unwanted air leakage into and out of a building
- - Helps protect the R-value of insulation, reducing heating and cooling costs
ZIP System™ Tape Permanently Seals All Panel Seams
- - Acrylic formulation provides superior adhesion
- - Rigorously tested for long-lasting performance
- - Easily applied with tape gun and accessories
Insulation and durability in one installation. How’s that for efficiency?
A single-piece design lets you avoid the hassles of multi-level systems. Just hang the panels and tape the seams for a wall system that provides structure, moisture protection and tight air seal, all in one.
Step 1 Fasten PanelsUse code-recognized fasteners and spacings |  |
Step 2 Tape SeamsTape horizontal and vertical seams |  |
Step 3 Tape CornersTape inside and outside corners. Use the corner/vallery tool to aid in corner tape installation |  |
