Barricade® to Unveil Continuous Insulation Corner Sheathing at IBS 2023
INDEVCO North America will introduce an energy-efficient Barricade brand structural sheathing corner wrap at the 2023 International Builders’ Show, along with Barricade brand and Perma R brand building envelope solutions.
Richmond, VA, Jan. 16, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- At the NAHB International Builders’ Show (IBS) 2023, INDEVCO North America will introduce its unique, patent-pending Barricade Thermo-Brace Guard product, a structural continuous sheathing for building envelope corners that unitizes walls and insulates corners for higher energy efficiency, while eliminating the need for corner flashing.
Visitors can view demos and request samples of Barricade Thermo-Brace Guard, as well as other Barricade and Perma R brand building envelope solutions, at Booth #C7937 from January 31 – February 2 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Thermo-Brace Guard Continuous Insulation Corner Sheathing
This continuous corner guard solution can be applied with Barricade Thermo-Brace lightweight structural sheathing or with Barricade Thermo-Brace SIB (R3 or R5) reversible structural insulated sheathing, both of which are produced in Doswell, Virginia.
“Thermo-Brace Guard,” says Geoff Baldwin, Chief Innovation Officer at INDEVCO North America, “is both energy efficient and cost effective.
The way it wraps a corner joins two separate walls into a complete enclosure, creating continuous insulation that protects against air infiltration and prevents moisture build-up at the corner. It also eliminates the cost and installation challenges associated with corner flashing, which saves money and time for builders and contractors.”
The continuous corner sheathing application has the same strength as the Thermo-Brace structural sheathing, which is rated higher than OSB bracing requirements identified by the International Building Code®.
Because the product is unique in the market, INDEVCO North America is working with 3rd party engineering to evaluate whether even higher values of structural and seismic properties will be obtained.
