Wood, the most popular building material, is not an efficient thermal barrier. When studs are not insulated they act as “thermal shorts” allowing excessive heat transfer into and out of wall construction.
Owens Corning CodeBord Sheathing the most practical way to build.
Simply replacing wood sheathing with CodeBord allows you to construct a complete, true thermal envelope. CodeBord sheathing construction, in conjunction with the gypsum board finish on the interior walls, meets code requirements for structural strength yet also eliminates thermal shortcuts, enhancing energy performance.
And because Owens Corning helps maintain better indoor air quality it has been awarded the prestigious GREENGUARD Certification. What could be greener than PINK?
