Featuring integrated moisture air and thermal protection zip system r sheathing completely reimagines traditional wall assemblies by streamlining exterior water air and thermal management. While structural sheathing increases building stability non structural sheathing improves.

Install rigid insulation board in multiple layers with joints offset vertically and. Zip system r sheathing is the simple all in one structural panel with built in exterior insulation. It refers to boards or panels that line the walls floor and roof. Thermax sheathing is a non structural rigid board insulation consisting of a glass fiber infused polyisocyanurate foam core laminated between 1 0 mil smooth reflective aluminum facers on both sides.

Insulated roof assemblies can be vented or unvented. There are lots of different ways to insulate this type of roof but one of the best methods calls for the installation of rigid foam insulation above the roof sheathing. Johns manville polyiso foam sheathing insulation boards provide a continuous layer of insulation to reduce thermal bridging and improve energy efficiency. The glass fiber reinforcement contributes to improved fire performance and dimensional stability.

Apply continuous air control membrane to existing roof sheathing or implement continuous air control at roof sheathing. Create a surface on which other materials can be placed to increase the stability of the home while providing increased insulation.
