Is Zip Better Than Osb

Much like AdvanTech, ZIP System has a higher price, also running about 50% higher than standard OSB, but with that figure not including the house wrap that is integral in the Zip System sheathing.

Is Zip sheathing structural?

Currently, the AdvanTech® and ZIP System® ½” and 5/8″ panels are recognized as Structural 1, providing a structural performance advantage over standard OSB sheathing.

Is ZIP System A WRB?

Tyvek® HomeWrap®* and the ZIP System® are weather resistant barriers (WRB) applied under the siding of a home or commercial building. The goal of both these products is to ensure a structure is air- and moisture-resistant.
