First Story Sheathing With Zip System R-Board | VLOG 018
Channel: GreenShortz + GreenHouse
Date: 2018-08-25

The framing of the GreenShortz GreenHouse continues with the sheathing fo the first story with Zip System R-board from Huber Engineered Woods. 

The Zip R-Board has a green vinyl layer embedded in the sheathing to provide a weather barrier, while the R-Board give us an R-6 rigid foam insulation on the back. 

This insulation is a continuous layer outside of the wall studs that helps greatly reduce thermal bridging, the movement of heat through the wood structural elements in the walls.

The taping of the seams between the sheathing boards seals the weather barrier behind the siding
