Provides Corner
Bracing
No supplementary corner bracing is required by the model building codes
when structural grade fiberboard sheathing panels, 1/2" or 25/32",
are applied vertically or horizontally.
Ideal for Any Siding
Fiberboard sheathing is easy and economical to install with hardboard,
wood, or any other siding material. And, there is no fear of crushing
when staples or nails are driven securely.
Durable
Fiberboard sheathing withstands the wear and tear involved in handling
prefabricated wall sections. And, because it doesn’t break easily,
there is less waste. Fiberboard sheathing is not adversely affected by
inclement weather or sunlight.
Insulates
Fiberboard sheathing’s insulating properties help save energy and
money.
Reduces Noise
Fiberboard offers more sound transmission resistance than most sheathing
materials. When used with sound-deadening board and gypsum wallboard,
outside walls become excellent sound barriers against outdoor noise.
Controls Vapor
Fiberboard sheathing is water repellent, forms a weather-tight cover for
walls, and eliminates the need for building paper with most sidings. Fiberboard
sheathing’s high permeance also permits unwanted vapor to escape
outward through sidewalls — one of the few sheathing products available
with this permeance advantage.
Applies Easily
Fiberboard sheathing offers rapid and efficient application with nails
or staples.
