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.
