Braced for Performance
Â

Walls that are braced for performance … that's a key advantage of STYROFOAM SIS™ Brand Structural Insulated Sheathing. Its robust structural integrity comes from the high-pressure laminated structural member that provides strength to the wall assembly and reinforces the insulating foam.
The lightweight panels are simple to work with – 1/2" boards are just one-third the weight of oriented strand board (OSB). Yet durable STYROFOAM SIS™ Brand Structural Insulated Sheathing is strong enough to stand up to the rigors of job-site handling, plus:
-
Meets or exceeds structural codes for wall sheathing
-
Can be adapted to both 2x4 and 2x6 construction
-
Provides excellent structure for wall panelization and manufactured housing
-
Eliminates the need for wood structural panels and housewrap, metal T-bracing or wood let-in bracing
