We
think you never should. That's
because ZIP System®
roof and wall sheathing can give your home a second line of defense. With Zip
System®
technology, what stands between your home's exterior and interior can help
prevent many types of water and weather-related problems.
Far Sturdier than conventional roofing felt and house wrap, the ZIP System
panels combine a solid wood panel and protective barrier all in one. Between
panels, special ZIP Systems™
tape keeps the protective surface seamless.
The result is a complete system that won't tear or blow off during construction
and continues to protect your home after construction is done. Plus it's backed
by our exclusive limited 15-year system and 30-year panel warranty.
So be sure to tell your builder you want the additional protection of ZIP System
roof and wall products' superior technology.
Roof Sheathing
What's underneath your shingles is just as important as the shingles themselves. Most roofs are built with wood panels and then covered with some type of moisture-resistant barrier such as roofing felt. Zip System® roof sheathing, however, improves on this conventional construction. The ZIP System panel combines a wood panel and Precipitek™ moisture barrier all in one so your roof system is inherently resistant to moisture. Between panels, water-resistant ZIP System tape is used to complete the system.
Benefits of ZIP System Roof Sheathing
Custom Look - ZIP
System panels are full half-inch panels that are thick and strong contributing
to a smooth roof line and allowing shingles to lay flat.
Water Resistance - ZIP System roof sheathing has passed the Wind Driven Rain Test, with results that surpass the strictest of standards set by Florida's Dade and Broward counties. This means if shingles blow off, you are provided better leak protection that with standard roof felt.
Durability - ZIP System roof panels with built-in Precipitek™ moisture barrier and ZIP System tape create a reliable roof system. Unlike roof felt and other underlayments, the ZIP System roof sheathing can't rip or blow off during construction, providing better protection for your roof.
Proven Performance - Recognized by residential building codes, ZIP System roof sheathing has undergone and passed extensive performance testing for water resistance, water penetration and wind-driven rain.
Peace of Mind - Knowing it's backed by an exclusive limited 15-year system and 30-year panel warranty you can count on a ZIP System roof sheathing to last.
Wall Sheathing
What's underneath your siding is just as important as the siding itself. Most exterior walls are built with wood panels and then covered with some type of water-resistive barrier such as housewrap. ZIP System® wall sheathing however, improves on this conventional construction. The ZIP System wall sheathing combine a wood panel and STORMEX™ water-resistive barrier all in one. The result is a water-resistant surface with nothing that can tear or blow off during construction. Between panels, water-resistant ZIP System tape is used to complete the system.
