The outer exterior walls and soffits of the building envelope are critical elements that deserve attention. Most of these assemblies require sheathing to be attached to the outside of framing as a water-resistant underlayment for various materials. Depending upon where your project is being erected, these assemblies could be exposed to wind, rain, snow, and extreme temperatures for extended periods during the construction process and afterward.

With eXP Sheathing Sealed Surface Technology, your project can withstand the elements. For both wood and metal construction, eXP Sheathing provides a solid substrate for various air and water-resistive barriers and is a component in Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS). With eXP Sheathing, you’ll have built-in weather and fire protection.

eXP Sheathing offers a moisture- and mold-resistant panel with superior extended-exposure capabilities. It is lightweight, handles easily, and is used for a variety of finishes.
