The Zip System is an innovative roof and wall sheathing system for homes that is designed to address the growing need for more energy-efficient, comfortable and better performing homes. This system is designed to provide the best solution for structural sheathing, air barrier performance and moisture management, all in just a single sheathing system.

Builders prefer the new Zip System over other traditional sheathing methods because it addresses several of the most important aspects of home building- it offers a protective barrier against moisture and air that makes homes more energy efficient and is easy to install.

• Moisture Resistant. The Zip System of roof and wall sheathing provides both the features of a structural panel as well as a protective barrier. It offers the strength and stability of an OSB with some added moisture protection.
• Energy Efficient. The Zip System not only keeps the moisture out where it is not needed, it also effectively becomes an effective air barrier. It prevents air from escaping through the seams of different panels and components usually experienced using traditional wall and roof sheathing. This leads to a more energy efficient home that can provide homeowners with greater comfort.
• Easy Installation. The Zip System of wall and roof sheathing generally requires only two basic steps to install. First step is fastening the panels into the structural frames. The second is putting tapes on the seams. That is all there is to it.
