LP NovaCore Thermal Insulated Sheathing now available

After making its debut at the International Builders’ Show earlier this year, LP Building Solutions announced that its LP NovaCore Thermal Insulated Sheathing is now available.

The sheathing panels are the latest offering in the LP Structural Solutions portfolio.

According to LP, the sheathing insulation panels are dual-layered and designed to minimize temperature fluctuations within structures, helping to make them more energy-saving and cost-efficient over time.

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.

The Nashville, Tenn.-based building product manufacturer and solutions provider said its Structural Solutions portfolio is designed to address issues facing the building industry today, all with the mission of “Building A Better World.”
