STYROFOAM SIS™ Brand Structural Insulated Sheathing is three home runs in one: structural shear bracing, insulation and water-resistive barrier. STYROFOAM SIS™ (U.S. Residential Only) STYROFOAM SIS™ Brand Structural Insulated Sheathing combines structural lateral bracing and transverse load, insulation and water-resistive barrier properties. It is designed for use as braced wall panels attached next to other rigid insulated sheathing. It can also serve as continuous structural insulated sheathing over the entire structural insulated wall line. STYROFOAM SIS™ Brand Structural Insulated Sheathing is the first structural insulated sheathing to achieve significant R-values (R-3.0 at 0.5"; R-5.5 at 1") and eliminates the need for wood structural panels and housewrap, wood let-in bracing or metal T-bracing. In addition, this sheathing helps lower the installed cost because it allows the builder to install structural support, insulation and a water-resistive barrier (sheathing joints taped with 2-7/8" WEATHERMATE™ Construction Tape (required to qualify) with less trips around the house. -- Vinay Gupta Free Science and Engineering in the Global Public Interest http://bit.ly/flucode - please follow the Flu Code if you are in a flu-effected area.
