Get A QuoteWeather Barrier
A weatherproof siding barrier is a critical component in safeguarding your home from the elements. It acts as a shield against moisture, wind, and air infiltration, preserving the structural integrity of your home. By preventing water intrusion, it reduces the risk of mold growth, wood rot, and energy loss. Our weather barriers are designed to be breathable, allowing vapor to escape while keeping external moisture out, thus enhancing the overall energy efficiency of your home.
ZIP System Sheathing
The 7/16″ Green ZIP System® Sheathing integrates a high-quality engineered wood panel with a built-in water-resistant barrier. This innovative system streamlines the installation process by eliminating the need for traditional house wrap, saving time and reducing the potential for installation errors. The panels are sealed with specialized ZIP System™ tape at the seams, creating a continuous protective envelope around your home. Benefits include:
- Moisture Protection: Shields against water intrusion, preventing damage.
- Structural Support: Provides robust support for your weatherproof siding.
- Air Sealing: Enhances energy efficiency by reducing air leaks.
Insulated ZIP System
The R-3 ZIP System® Insulated Sheathing adds a layer of continuous foam insulation to the standard ZIP System® sheathing. This integration boosts your home’s thermal performance by minimizing thermal bridging, where heat escapes through the studs. Key features include:
- Enhanced Insulation (R-3 Rating): Improves energy efficiency, leading to potential savings on heating and cooling costs.
- Moisture and Air Barrier: Combines water resistance and air sealing in one product.
- Streamlined Installation: Reduces installation steps, saving time and labor costs.
Cor-A-Vent® Ventilation Systems
Cor-A-Vent® provides a ventilation solution that promotes continuous airflow behind your siding. Proper ventilation is essential for:
- Moisture Management: Allows trapped moisture to escape, preventing mold and rot.
- Longevity of Siding: Extends the life of your weatherproof siding by reducing moisture-related issues.
- Improved Indoor Air Quality: Reduces the potential for mold spores entering the home.
R-15 Insulation
Upgrading to R-15 insulation significantly improves your home’s thermal resistance. Advantages include:
- Energy Efficiency: Higher R-value means better insulation, reducing energy bills.
- Comfort: Maintains a consistent indoor temperature throughout the seasons.
- Environmental Impact: Lower energy consumption reduces your carbon footprint.
R-15 Sound and Fire Insulation
This premium insulation offers all the benefits of R-15 insulation, with added features:
- Sound Dampening: Reduces noise transmission from outside and between rooms.
- Fire Resistance: Slows the spread of fire, providing extra time for evacuation and reducing damage.
- Safety and Comfort: Enhances overall home safety while creating a quieter living environment.
