Siding and trim attachment without needing to hit studs. Meet code requirements and simplify fastening of siding and trim to plywood or OSB. Continuously sheathing with OSB or plywood not only makes walls stronger and more resilient—these structural panels also make a solid, consistent surface for attaching siding and trim that meets the requirements of the IRC.

Resist lateral and uplift loads at raised-heel trusses. Raised-heel trusses, also known as energy-heel trusses, deliver cost-effective energy performance, especially when used with continuous plywood or OSB sheathing.

Simply comply with IRC wall bracing requirements. A house must be built to safely resist the lateral loads that result from high-wind events and earthquakes. Wall studs alone can't resist the racking forces. Wall bracing helps keep walls square during wind events and earthquakes.

Provides a rigid base for use with high density wall insulation. Wood structural panel sheathing maintains the structural durability of the home and allows walls to be insulated to higher R-values, resulting in high strength wall systems that are cost effective and contractor friendly.

Code-recognized air barrier material for sealing homes tight. Plywood and OSB sheathing are both code-recognized air barrier materials. Common sources of air infiltration should be checked and sealed during construction to minimize air leakage.

Construct homes that stand up to high wind and bounce back from earthquakes. Wood is the resilient choice for construction. Wood's strength combined with its ability to absorb stresses or impacts without weakening or degrading make wood a superior building materials, especially in areas susceptible to severe weather conditions or seismic activity.
