Build For The Future By:

Building Faster

By combining exterior insulation with structural sheathing, builders can install multiple layers at once while reducing labour costs and labour hours.

Building Better

Create a more comfortable, energy efficient home by wrapping the building in a blanket of continuous exterior insulation that eliminates thermal bridging and moves the dew point to the outside.

Building Smarter

Our solutions don’t require builders to change how they build – your preferred processes, techniques and methods remain the same and nothing changes for inspections, repairs, and renovations. SIS Panels are installed the same as regular OSB.

Insulation Options & Details – Coming Soon

Insulated sheathing is the MVP of building projects. It’s like a win-win for everyone: customers get the energy efficient features they want without blowing their budget.

Benefits of One-Sided ZIP SIS Panels

Hand Crafted For Your Project

We can tailor our One-Sided ZIP SIS Panels to meet specific requirements and optimize performance.

Want to eliminate cavity insulation? Considering using 8″ – 10″ of EPS insulation (R-36 and R-455 respectively).

Building in areas with limited space? Consider using Phenolic insulation (R-9 per inch).

Effortlessly Reduce Thermal Bridging

Maximize energy efficiency by addressing the issue of thermal bridging. Traditional exterior walls suffer from significant heat loss, with around 14-20% of exterior walls losing heat through areas without proper insulation, such as the studs & plate material.

By integrating insulated sheathing into your assembly, you can enhance the entire system. A better building envelope increases your mechanical system’s lifespan by reducing how long & often it needs to work.

Streamlined Installation

We believe in utilizing materials you already know and trust to make your construction experience seamless. Framers can effortlessly install these panels just like regular OSB without any special tools or training.

By replacing your existing OSB with this SIS Panels, you can leverage the benefits of insulated sheathing without complicating your construction workflow.

Supports Cladding Systems

7/16″ ZIP OSB provides exceptional structural strength, enabling you to directly install heavy cladding materials like James Hardie board or brick onto the One-Sided OSB SIS Panel – no need to install to the stud.

This provides you a generous and convenient nailing surface, simplifying the cladding process and saving you time and effort.One less trade, one less time scaffolding needs to be set up & torn down, and one less trip around the building.

MORE REASONS TO CHOOSE SIS Panels

Featured Project

We recently worked with a builder in Golden, BC, on a retrofit that utilized 8″ and 10″ thick ZIP SIS Panels to reach Step 5 of the Step Code and score an airtightness test of 0.94 ACH.

How It’s Made

Our climate-controlled factory ensures the highest quality control to meet the strictest building standards. Our precision-built SIS Panels adhere to local codes and standards, undergoing meticulous inspections at every stage of manufacturing.

Need a custom R-Value for the project? Does the client perfer an eco-friendly or low carbon insulation option? Do the panels need to be cut to size to streamline the installation process & reduce waste?

Our manufacturing process makes it easy to mix & match different products & benefits – giving builders the ability to meet more project requirements with a single solution.
