You can think of our Barricade Thermo-Brace as a 3-in-1 structural sheathing solution that provides stable material pricing and lower labor costs. This makes Thermo-Brace a better alternative to OSB and other heavier, more expensive panel systems. Reflective foil facing engineered for energy performance. Faster, Easier Install. Thermo-Brace weighs 1/3 of typical OSB products and is designed with printed nail patterns. This offers a faster, easier, one-person install and results in reduced labor costs. Structural Performance. Thermo-Brace provides racking resistance and may be used as an alternative corner bracing method, with structural ratings equivalent to or better than OSB. High-Performing, Built-In Weather Resistance. Thermo-Brace incorporates an air and moisture barrier on both sides of the structural panel, eliminating the need for house wrap entirely. Barricade offers Thermo-Brace ECO, a sustainable solution within the Thermo-Brace product line, manufactured with high-quality, long-fibered, specially treated water and weather resistant plies made from 100% recycled paperboard.
