Sheathing for dollars, GP offers rebate

Georgia-Pacific is offering builders a $1 rebate per sheet for the first five homes built using ForceField Air & Water Barrier System.



Designed to keep potentially harmful water out of a structure during construction – and for the life of the building – ForceField Air & Water Barrier consists of engineered wood sheathing panels laminated with a proprietary air and water barrier. Once ForceField wall sheathing is installed on a structure, the panel joints are taped with ForceField seam tape, creating an integrated air and water barrier system and eliminating the need for house wrap.

The seam tape helps prevent air infiltration and leaks. ForceField panels are installed like standard plywood or OSB sheathing panels.

The product was introduced to the market at the International Builders' Show in January.
