“The intrinsic benefits of choosing an integrated sheathing product like ForceField Weather Barrier System are many,” said Jason Peace, vice president of marketing and product management for Georgia-Pacific Building Products. “The single-step installation allows contractors to stay ahead of potential delays; the enhanced overlay creates a barrier to keep water out; moisture-resistant resins enhance the moisture-resistant core using DryGuard® Technology; and the structural sheathing provided by premium quality OSB adds enhanced strength and durability. On top of these benefits, the versatility of the product — it can be used on walls and sloped roofs — means the build is protected, no matter the weather.”

With a greater than 90% drainage efficiency, ForceField Weather Barrier System meets Exposure 1-OSB suitable for uses not permanently exposed to the weather.
