This ensures you get the most out of standard insulation and HVAC systems. Touch 'n Foam sealants are also great for blocking moisture, dust, sound and insects – truly making your home a more comfortable place to live.
Features and Benefits
Touch 'n Foam Professional offers a comprehensive line of spray foam insulation and sealant solutions designed for a wide range of applications. Engineered for both professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts, these products provide superior insulation, air sealing, and sound dampening capabilities.
The core advantage of Touch 'n Foam Professional lies in its ability to create an effective barrier against air and moisture infiltration. By expanding and conforming to irregular spaces, the foam seals gaps and cracks that conventional insulation and caulking cannot reach. This leads to significant energy savings by reducing drafts and preventing conditioned air from escaping. Furthermore, the foam's closed-cell or open-cell structure, depending on the product, contributes to acoustic control by absorbing sound waves, making spaces quieter and more comfortable.
Touch 'n Foam Professional products are known for their ease of application, with both pre-mixed aerosol cans and larger dispensing systems available. This versatility allows users to tackle projects of various sizes, from small repairs to large-scale insulation jobs.
Key Features and Benefits:- Excellent Air Sealing: Creates a continuous barrier that stops air leaks, improving energy efficiency and indoor air quality.
- Superior Insulation: Provides a high R-value per inch, effectively reducing heat transfer and maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures.

Product Summary
For installation convenience and exceptional, long-term performance, the all-in-one ZIP System® R-Sheathing panel provides a new approach to sealing and insulating the building envelope. One panel delivers thermal, air and moisture resistance, while providing excellent strength and durability.
Construction and Materials
The ZIP System building enclosure offers an innovative approach to wall and roof framing, combining sheathing and water-resistive barrier (WRB) into a single, integrated product. This system is designed to streamline the construction process, reduce labor costs, and provide a robust building envelope.
Construction and Materials:
- Core Material: The core of ZIP System panels is engineered wood. This typically consists of oriented strand board (OSB) that has been specially manufactured.
- Integrated Water-Resistive Barrier (WRB): A key feature of the ZIP System is its factory-applied WRB. This is a continuous layer of material bonded to the structural sheathing. This integrated WRB eliminates the need for a separate house wrap, reducing installation steps and the potential for installation errors.
- Fastening System: The system is designed to be fastened with specific fasteners, often proprietary screws or nails, that seal the panel edges and seams. This specialized fastening creates a monolithic barrier that prevents air and water intrusion.
- Sealing System: ZIP System utilizes a specialized tape to seal the seams between panels, as well as around penetrations like windows and doors. This tape is engineered to adhere strongly to the integrated WRB, ensuring a continuous air and water barrier.
- Panel Types: ZIP System is available in various panel types to suit different structural and design needs, including standard sheathing and insulated sheathing options. The insulated panels incorporate rigid foam insulation directly to the back of the sheathing, offering both structural support and thermal performance in a single product.
Key Benefits and Features:

Options-Styles
ZIP System Building Enclosures offers innovative solutions for creating a superior building envelope. Their products are designed to streamline the construction process by integrating sheathing and water-resistive barrier (WRB) into a single panelized system. This approach simplifies installation, reduces labor, and enhances building performance.
The core of the ZIP System is its structural sheathing panels, which come in various thicknesses and types to suit different structural requirements and climate zones. These panels are manufactured with an integrated, vapor-permeable WRB that is factory-applied. This eliminates the need for separate house wrap installation, significantly speeding up the enclosure timeline.
ZIP System panels are also engineered with a built-in vapor-permeable water-resistive barrier and air barrier, which are permanently bonded to the panel. This integrated system is designed to provide robust protection against moisture and air infiltration, contributing to improved energy efficiency and interior comfort.
Style and Features:
- Integrated Sheathing and WRB: The primary style feature is the seamless combination of structural sheathing and a factory-applied water-resistive barrier. This dual-functionality is a key differentiator.
- Vapor Permeable: The integrated WRB is vapor-permeable, allowing moisture vapor to escape from the wall cavity, which helps prevent the buildup of moisture within the structure and reduces the risk of mold and rot.
- Air Barrier: The system also functions as an air barrier, sealing out unwanted drafts and improving the overall airtightness of the building envelope.
- Structural Integrity: ZIP System panels provide structural support for the building, meeting or exceeding industry standards for sheathing.
- Durable Finish: The exposed surface of the panel is treated to offer a degree of protection during the construction phase, though it is intended to be covered by final cladding.
Available Options:
- Panel Thicknesses: ZIP System panels are available in a range of thicknesses, typically including options like 7/16 inch, 1/2 inch, and 5/8 inch, to accommodate different structural engineering requirements and wall assembly designs.
- Panel Sizes: Standard panel sizes are available, commonly 4x8 feet, to facilitate efficient installation and minimize waste. Longer panels may also be offered for specific applications.
- Plywood and OSB Options: The ZIP System is available in both plywood and oriented strand board (OSB) substrates, allowing builders to choose based on project specifications, local building codes, and material preferences.
- Adhesive Application: Specific ZIP System adhesives are recommended for sealing the seams between panels, creating a continuous air and water barrier. These adhesives are designed to work with the integrated WRB on the panels.
- Taping Solutions: Complementary taping products are available to seal seams, joints, and penetrations, further ensuring the integrity of the air and water barrier system.
The ZIP System's design philosophy emphasizes creating a robust, weather-tight, and structurally sound building envelope with fewer components and less labor compared to traditional methods. This results in a more efficient construction process and a higher-performing finished building.
