Huber Engineered Woods announced a new addition to the ZIP System line—ZIP System Vapor Permeable Tape, designed for panel seam sealing and flashing on a ZIP System wall panel assembly—at the 2021 International Builders’ Show.
The tape features a high-powered acrylic adhesive system, and it offers high permeance to fit the requirements of particular environments, including extreme climates and high-performance assemblies such as passive house or net zero. Taken together, the ZIP System panels sealed with VP tape create a weather-resistive barrier and rigid air barrier, as well as feature a higher tape perm rating than standard ZIP System flashing tape, according to the manufacturer.
The ZIP System VP Tape is available in 90-inch by 3.75-inch rolls. It is one of 15 different straight and “stretch” tapes available for ZIP System sealings, as well as fluid-applied flashing offerings. It can be applied from 0 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. zipsystem.com
