Barricade Building Products, a member of the INDEVCO North America, offers Barricade Guard Continuous Corner, produced with either Thermo-Brace Structural Sheathing or Thermo-Brace Structural Insulated Board (SIB). These products have been developed to meet the latest energy codes and cater to the evolving needs of the construction industry.
"What’s really exciting this year is showing a recent installation of our breakthrough SIB Guard product in Texas. Thermo-Brace Guard wraps corners seamlessly and addresses the challenge of thermal bridging, which helps maintain consistent temperatures throughout the structure," said Darcy Overby, Barricade national sales director.
"With Thermo-Brace Guard, builders and contractors get a light and fast install and save on both the cost of seam tape and labor for corners. They’re able to unitize the wall and eliminate foam damage usually associated with continuous insulation products. Just as important, home buyers reduce air and moisture infiltration, as well as energy waste, and maximize their overall energy savings.”
INDEVCO North America produces a range of building envelope products at its manufacturing plants in Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee and Virginia. As part of its mission, the company is focused on designing products to support building envelopes and positively impact Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Index and Energy Rating Index (ERI) scores.
Texas builders are turning to HERS as a compliance pathway for energy ratings. Texas House Bill 3215, signed last June and codified into Chapter 388 of Texas Building Energy Performance Standards, separates HERS from the ICC/IRC ERI.
“We’re thrilled to showcase our latest developments. These products reflect our commitment to pushing the boundaries of energy efficiency, sustainability and customer satisfaction. We’re confident that they will reshape the construction industry and drive the adoption of greener building practices," said Geoff Baldwin, INDEVCO North America chief innovation officer.
