Reduces Noise
  • Offers more sound transmission resistance than most sheathing materials.
  • When used with sound deadening board and gypsum wall board, outside walls become excellent sound barriers against outdoor noises.

Controls Vapor

  • Water repellent and forms a weather-tight cover for walls.
  • Eliminates the need for building paper with most sidings.
  • Sufficient permeance permits unwanted vapor to escape outward through sidewalls-one of the few sheathing products available with this permeance advantage.

Applies Easily

  • Rapid and efficient application with nails or staples.
