STYROFOAM SIS Brand Structural Insulated Sheathing combines structural shear bracing, insulation and water-resistive barrier properties in one solution. This sheathing can be used as braced wall panels integrated with other rigid insulated sheathing. It can also serve as continuous structural insulated sheathing on the entire braced wall line. STYROFOAM™ SIS™ Brand sheathing provides high R-value and eliminates the need for OSB, wood let-in bracing or metal T-bracing. It also helps lower the installed cost because it allows the builder to install structural support, insulation and water-resistive barrier in "one trip around the house".
