Product of the Week: Dow's Styrofoam SIS structural insulated sheathing

The Styrofoam SIS structural insulated sheathing from Dow combines three functions in one product: structural lateral bracing and transverse loads, good insulation performance, and a water-resistive barrier. It offers a high R-value (R-3 at 0.5 inch; R-5.5 at 1 inch), which in turn reduces energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The system also resists moisture intrusion and air infiltration; reduces installation time, labor, and material; and eliminates the need for wood structural panels and housewrap.
