ZIP IT TIGHT

WITH A VARIETY OF ROOFING MATERIALS.
"The idea behind using ZIP System
®
sheathing
and tape on a roof is that during high winds,
even with the loss of shingles, the house is
built storm tight with added protection against
water penetration."
- TODD PIPER, COASTAL BUILDER
* Limitations may apply.
Although all projects are unique, experience has shown that 1 roll of 3 3/4" ZIP System
™
ashing tape is needed for approximately 7 sheets of 4' x 8' ZIP System
®
sheathing.
This should only be considered a general “rule of thumb” when ordering materials with the understanding that some jobs may require more or less depending on the speci c project.
