ZIP System
ZIP System® Family of Products – Breakthrough innovation that has transformed the future of building enclosures.
ZIP System is a revolutionary structural roof and wall system that streamlines weatherization with an integrated air and water-resistive barrier.
A Structural 1-rated engineered wood panel with an integrated water-resistive barrier, it eliminates the need to install an additional weather barrier. Completed with advanced acrylic ZIP System tape at panel seams and flashing details, the system delivers a continuous water and rigid air barrier in a simplified method. Code-compliant as an air and water barrier for roof and wall assemblies, the system is also backed by a 180-Day Exposure Guarantee and 30-Year Limited Warranty.
This streamlined approach for weatherized roof and wall systems helps keep schedules on track and reduces the risk of repair delays.
When it comes to durability, efficiency and resiliency, this is one building enclosure system that has transformed wood-framed building envelopes.

ZIP System R-sheathing Offers:
- Built-In Exterior Insulation – Designed to meet new energy codes, each panel features integrated continuous foam insulation to increase thermal performance and minimize thermal bridging.
- Structural Durability – An exterior engineered wood panel meets wall bracing requirements, contributes to shear wall designs and provides a nailable, flashable base for cladding, trim and windows.
- Integrated Water-Resistive Barrier – A built-in water-resistive barrier can eliminate the need for housewrap and helps achieve a quick rough dry-in backed by a 180-day Exposure Guarantee and 30-year Limited Warranty.*
- Continuous Air Barrier Taped – seams create a continuous air barrier that helps prevent air leakage and protects insulation R-value as part of an energy-efficient enclosure.
ZIP System Sheathing and Tape
Created as an alternative to the traditionally used wood sheathing with housewrap, ZIP System sheathing and tape strikes the balance between efficient installation and long-term water and air management.
