ZIP System ® R-sheathing is the simple all-in-one structural panel with built-in exterior insulation. Featuring integrated moisture, air and thermal protection, ZIP System R-sheathing completely reimagines traditional wall assemblies by streamlining exterior water, air and thermal management. The engineered wood panel on the outside of the system provides a nailable, easy-to-flash base for cladding, trim and windows. When properly installed and taped, ZIP System R-Sheathing provides a water-resistive barrier, air barrier and exterior insulation all in one product.
Designed to meet new energy codes, each panel features integrated continuous foam insulation to increase thermal performance and minimize thermal bridging
A built-in water-resistive barrier eliminates the need for housewrap and helps achieve a quick rough dry-in backed by a 180-day exposure guarantee
Taped seams create a continuous air barrier that helps prevent air leakage and protects insulation R-value as part of an energy-efficient enclosure
The integrated sheathing system meets wall bracing requirements and contributes to shear wall assemblies
