Build to Your Own Code. We can help.

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.
