| Wall sheathing eliminates need to install building wrap Georgia-Pacific Wood Products LLC introduces its new Nautilus wall sheathing. Nautilus is a first-in-class OSB panel with a pre-applied weather-resistant barrier that eliminates the need for separate building wrap installation. Nautilus sheathing offers builders and contractors an efficient installation process because it combines sheathing and building wrap installation into a single step. This process eliminates the need for a separate crew to install building wrap, which helps reduce costs and can save time on a construction project. Nautilus panels can also resist rain and moisture during the construction period, which can help avoid costly moisture-related problems. The code-compliant Nautilus panels are installed like typical wall sheathing. When seams are sealed with code-compliant Nautilus 3" wide seam tape, the walls are protected against air leaks, which helps improve energy efficiency. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
