ZIP Panels: The Smarter, Faster and Easier Way to Build or Remodel

Say good-bye to housewrap, H-clips, and roofing felt. With ZIP System roofs and walls, all you need to do is fasten the panels, tape the seams and you're done!

The panels are made by fusing a protective barrier to an ultra-dense pressed wood core. Joints are sealed with a tape that provides a strong, lasting seal that won't blow off or rip during construction.

Between the labor and material savings as well as the conveniences, it's easy to see why so many builders and remodelers are switching to it and why Building Products magazine named it one of the Top 100 products of 2007. By not having to install housewrap, H-clips or felt, most contractors can make their homes weathertight in 40% less time. The ZIP panels alone will protect the house for 90 days, so interior subs can get to work sooner.

As an added benefit, because it has a protective barrier, metal roofing and fiber cement siding can be installed directly over ZIP panels.
