Abstract:
The panel includes a water resistant barrier layer secured atop its outward facing surface. The water resistant barrier layer includes a skid resistant surface. The panels are made of lignocellulosic material. The water resistant and skid resistant surface may include indicia for aligning strips of tape or for aligning fasteners. A method for manufacturing the water resistant building panels is also disclosed and includes the steps of feeding paper onto a forming belt, depositing lignocellulosic material and the binding agent onto the forming belt so as to form a lignocellulosic mat, applying heat and pressure so as to impart the skid resistant surface on the paper, and cutting panels to predetermined sizes.

Claim (Index 39):
A sheathing system capable of covering at least a portion of a frame of a building structure, the system comprising:\n at least two structural panels, with a first panel including an outer surface, an inner surface, and at least one edge extending therebetween, the first panel capable of aligning with its at least one edge proximate to at least one edge of a second panel, and capable of defining a joint between the first panel and the second panel; a bulk water resistant and water vapor permeable barrier layer secured to the outer surface of the first panel and the second panel; and a bulk water resistant seam sealant capable of sealing the joint between the proximate edges of the first panel and the second panel, wherein the assembled sheathing system does not comprise an exterior finish of the building structure.
