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.
