Dow Structural Insulated Sheathing Faster to Install
Dow Building Solutions will put the spotlight on structural insulated sheathing in Booth W2543 at the Feb. 13-16 International Builders’ Show in Orlando.
Dow’s STYROFOAM SIS Brand Structural Insulated Sheathing features three-in-one construction with structural shear bracing, significant insulation performance and a water-resistive barrier.
The sheathing can be used as braced panel walls attached next to other rigid insulated sheathing, or it can serve as a continuous structural insulated sheathing over the entire braced wall line.
The sheathing:
- Reduces installation time with “one trip around the house”
- Eliminates the need for OSB, T-bracing or wood let-in bracing
- Minimizes the potential for condensation in the wall cavity and resists moisture
- Costs less than a combination of OSB and housewrap in many cases
- Provides high R-values (R 3.0 at ½” and R 5.5 at 1”)
- Insulates wood studs, enhancing thermal efficiency
- Consists of recyclable materials, with 80% post-consumer content
