I have been wanting to try this product for awhile. You have to liquidflash all the nail holes or water will find a way into the wall cavity. DuPont made a video with a mock up wall with zip panels and found water found a way in if the nails were not sealed. Looking forward to seeing how this project works out for you.
Thanks, I believe we have incorporated this into an excellent system.
czcams.com/video/Ce7M0vNAeqc/video.html not sure if you saw this video but it is the reason why I would liquid flash every nail on a house. Christine Williamson has a post on Instagram this morning on why a rain screen is mandatory on a zip wall.
I like great products, and yes will it install.
What nail type is best used? And do you have a link for that nailer attachment for preventing the nail from overdriving it in?
The attachment is actually just to prevent the sharp teeth on the bit from piercing around each nail driven. And we used full-head .12 as specced by our structural engineer.
Do you have any good research to link on radiant barriers and their effectiveness? I have read a lot that they are more scam than science. But considering the good work you do I might need to revisit the idea.
They do not technically have R-Value, because of the technicalities of the R-value test. But they work great in the right application- NASA developed and used them for years, so there’s certainly research. Just don’t let anyone sell you radiant bubble wrap and tell you it’s got an R-value. It depends always on the installation and directionality of the radiant facing.
Completely shocked you did not use Zip R panels.
Like to keep you on your toes
Is there a reason you didn't go with Zip? Is this just a comparable product or does it offer something extra? Also curious why you didn't go with a liquid applied barrier? Your thought process on the selection process might make for a good video. If you already made a video on this and I missed, I apologize.
they gave it away... did you not see they sponsored the video?
Yes, it’s the same class of product with some key differences. Smooth side wrb vs. rough side, tape tearable by hand, etc. Stay tuned.
Hope to see a closeup of the surface.
With a microscope
why would you choose this over zip? I feel like zip is more established and widely used, is there a reason for this?
or even better, cdx fir with fluid applied and seem sealer? I only ask because you say youre shooting for the best assembly!
they gave it away... did you not see they sponsored the video?
Guys, just because a product is more widely used doesn’t make it better. And I don’t just take products that are offered, I seek them out and choose them. ForceField is absolutely the same class of product as ZIP, it’s just different. Smooth side adhesion vs. rough side, tape tearable by hand, ultimately it will itself be protected by 2” of Rockwool and a rain screen.
Home Performance good to hear, at the end of the day it’s still OSB
With an integrated WRB
Price vs Zip R? Very curious!
You mean ZIP i think- this was designed to be priced lower than ZIP.
So it is ZIP alternativ?
Correct
In Canada, by building code, we still need a house wrap barrier, insulation, and a vapour barrier.
We love Canada. But it’s sad to spend weeks straight at -40 degrees, you have to take all kinds of extra precautions.
How much does it cost one ply
One ply means one sheet I imagine- $20 or so.
@@HomePerformance one sheet
I can’t believe you are not using a fluid applied!
Why? No material is perfect for all situations. It’s a system. Any one product is just part of a whole.
I never use osb products for anything other than disposable purposes.
Interestingly, OSB can be stronger than plywood. Like anything, there are better and worse versions of a material.
Home Performance Define "stronger." I realize GP is likely sponsoring your build, but let's not be disingenuous. OSB is inferior to plywood in every metric. GP even states this in their own study. This coming from a licensed builder specializing in renovations for 20+ years, a former associate architectural designer with a Masters degree of Architecture. North America is the only market for OSB materials for one important reason... they're cheap.
Have Matt risinger do a build show for this product
Normally I would agree but he has a sponsorship with Huber, their biggest competitor, so unless they pay him too he would not do it
This guy is doing it, no need for Matt
