ZIP System R-sheathing from Huber Engineered Woods is the simple, all-in-one structural panel with built-in exterior insulation. Featuring integrated moisture, air and thermal protection, ZIP System R-sheathing completely reimagines traditional wall assemblies by streamlining exterior water, air and thermal management.  These panels are much thicker than traditional sheathing or the typical Zip System wall panels. This means that one must answer the question, which fasteners should be used to maintain proper structural integrity when fastening these plywood and foam panels to the wall studs? Kuiken Brothers is here to help and we want to help you hit the ground running with this quick reference fastener guide to reference when installed the ZIP System R-Sheathing Insulated Panels.

Unlike traditional sheathing, the Zip R-Sheathing is much thicker due to the applied foam insulated panel, which needs to be taken into consideration when installer. Thicker panels require thicker fasteners!  Keep reading below to see our recommended in-stock fastener.
