ZIP System Challenge
That revolutionary product, ZIP System® sheathing and tape, ended up seamlessly integrating structural requirements of sheathing with a built-in water- and air-resistive barrier. Originally adopted by progressive builders (think today’s Passive House builders), ZIP System sheathing and tape is now used by a widespread audience from production and custom home builders to multifamily, mixed-use and remodeling specialists.
ZIP System® R-Sheathing
ZIP System R-sheathing integrates structural sheathing with thermal and water-resistive barrier functionalities. The built-in exterior insulation is one method of addressing the thermal bridging effects at above-grade walls separating conditioned from unconditioned spaces per ENERGY STAR program requirements in an efficient manner (streamlined installation process), which is appealing to many builders.
