Huber Engineered Woods LLC, leading manufacturer of innovative building solutions, is introducing a new ZIP System® tape gun that will allow builders to quickly and easily install ZIP System® wall and roof sheathing. Huber Engineered Woods will be demonstrating how the new tape gun is used to install ZIP System® structural roof and wall panels to build homes with superior moisture management and a tighter building envelope at the 2010 International Builders’ Show. The entire ZIP System® product line will be on display in booth C2785 at the Las Vegas Convention Center on Tuesday, Jan. 19 through Friday, Jan. 22.
“ZIP System® roof and wall sheathing eliminates the need for housewrap and felt, so the time it takes a builder to install ZIP System® panels is significantly less than with traditional methods. The new tape gun gives builders an even greater advantage because it loads twice as fast as the previous version and is designed for greater durability on the jobsite,” said Meredith Murchison, ZIP System products general manager at Huber Engineered Woods. “Now builders have the ability to improve installation speed with a system that is already recognized for industry-leading management of moisture and air movement.”
The ZIP System wall sheathing has a moisture barrier and air barrier all-in-one, providing a tight building envelope and superior moisture resistance during and after construction. ZIP System® tape durably seals panel seams, can help reduce air leaks as recommended by the Seal and Insulate with the ENERGY STAR® effort, and is code recognized as window and door flashing tape (ESR-2227). ZIP System® roof panels have a built-in moisture barrier and eliminate the need for felt paper and H-clips. Builders using ZIP System roof and wall sheathing can obtain points toward green building certifications including LEED® for Homes, ENERGY STAR® for Homes, and NAHB National Green Building Standard.
