LP Building Solutions Launches LP NovaCore™ Thermal Insulated Sheathing
LP Structural Solutions portfolio expands sheathing offerings to help homeowners reduce energy costs and create more efficient building structures
"LP is committed to discovering new solutions to continuously evolve our portfolio of products with sustainability and efficiency in mind," said LP Growth and Innovation Product Manager
Designed to defend against heat and cold, LP NovaCore Thermal Insulated Sheathing provides a continuous extruded polystyrene (XPS) layer between interior home spaces and the outside world. It will be one of the only insulated panel products on the market that combines XPS foam with an oriented strand board (OSB) substrate. The XPS foam provides continuous insulation with a higher R-value than standard sheathing and does not deteriorate over time, unlike some other foam insulation products. Despite the product's add-ons for insulation, it still uses standard 2×4 spacing. This important benefit means that builders in many regions do not need to adjust their framing to use this sheathing.
Dall explains, "In the face of evolving building codes that only increase in complexity, LP provides solutions that allow builders to easily meet code requirements without complicated installation processes. Furthermore, as insulation requirements in building codes become stricter, insulated sheathing will become less of a 'nice to have' and more of a 'need to have.'"
LP NovaCore Thermal Insulated Sheathing is a structural product that addresses these code demands by combining built-in code compliance and easier installation for builders with energy efficiency and long-term value for homeowners. Proven features of LP NovaCore sheathing include its ability to reduce heating and cooling costs for homeowners by maintaining a stable indoor environment, as well as its adherence to both International
LP NovaCore Thermal Insulated Sheathing will be available in summer 2022. Learn more about the product here and the full suite of LP Structural Solutions here.
