Another reason to stock TechShield sheathing: We'rehelping builders and their homes breathe a little easier.

Sure, radiant barriers help save energy and keep homes cooler. But many brands act as vapor barrters that hold moisture in the roof. 0ver time, that can lead to wood rot, callbacks, and unsatisfied customers. Maybe worst of all, a suffocating reputation.

But TechShield radiant barrier sheathing is different. Thanks to LP's innovattve incising process, TechShield sheathing lets homes breathe easier. The incisions in the alumtnum allow moisture to escape, yet the panels still keep uplo 97o/o of the sun's radiant heat from entering the home, lower attic temperatures by as much as 30", and significantly reduce energy usage.

So, when you stock TechShield, your builder customers, their homes and homeowners will breathe easier. And you will, too. Breathable TechShield sheathing. Now, that's really cool.
