While exterior sheathing is made from several types of materials the basic function remains the same. It refers to boards or panels that line the walls floor and roof.

While structural sheathing increases building stability non structural sheathing improves. There are lots of different ways to insulate this type of roof but one of the best methods calls for the installation of rigid foam insulation above the roof sheathing. 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 glass fiber reinforcement contributes to improved fire performance and dimensional stability.

Zip system r sheathing is the simple all in one structural panel with built in exterior insulation. Johns manville polyiso foam sheathing insulation boards provide a continuous layer of insulation to reduce thermal bridging and improve energy efficiency. Insulated roof assemblies can be vented or unvented. There are at least two good reasons why this approach makes more sense than installing the insulation under the roof sheathing.

Polyiso consists of a uniform closed cell polyisocyanurate foam core and provides one of the highest r values per inch of any rigid insulation. Scope remove existing roofing and non adhered underlayment to expose roof sheathing.
