Georgia-Pacific Wood Products' Next-Generation Wall Sheathing Eliminates Need to Install Building Wrap

February 14, 2008

ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Georgia-Pacific Wood Products LLC continues to strive for innovation in construction with the introduction of its patent-pending Nautilus(TM) wall sheathing at the 2008 International Builders' Show. Nautilus wall sheathing is a first-in-class OSB panel with a pre-applied weather-resistant barrier that eliminates the need for separate building wrap installation. Nautilus sheathing offers builders and contractors an efficient installation process because it combines sheathing and building wrap installation into a single step. This process eliminates the need for a separate crew to install building wrap, which helps reduce costs and can save time on a construction project. Nautilus panels can also resist rain and moisture during the construction period, which can help avoid costly moisture- related problems.
