Two-in-One
Zip System three-component roof and wall sheathings are designed with built-in water and moisture barriers to eliminate housewrap and roofing underlayment. Seams between panels are sealed with the Zip System Tape using the system's tape gun.
The wall sheathing panels measure 4 feet by 8 feet and 7/16 inch thick and feature the Stormex water-resistant barrier. The barrier allows the wall system to breathe once installed and will not blow off or tear, the maker says. The panels install just like standard structural panels; a fastening guide offers guidance for horizontal and vertical installation.
Roof sheathing panels incorporate the Precipitek moisture barrier, a built-in underlayment and skid-resistant surface that, the maker says, protects against moisture penetration better than traditional roofing felt and provides a smoother surface to allow shingles to lay flat. The ½-inch-thick panels also offer a fastening guide. Huber Engineered Woods. 800.394.2675. www.huberwood.com/zip
