Wall panels are also rated for water resistance and type 1 air retarder, while roof panels are recognized for skid resistance and fire protection. 800.933.9220. www.huberwood.com/zip.

DCI Products

DCI Products. Valley Vent helps achieve the proper airflow in and around valleys, skylights, chimneys, hips, and other areas, by raising the plywood 5/8 inch above the rafter for air circulation. Sandwiched between the rafter and roof deck, the corrugated plastic strip tapers from ½ inch down to 1/8 inch to allow air to flow under the roof sheathing and out the ridge vent. Designed in cooperation with DuPont for use with or without DuPont's Tyvek AtticWrap. 800.622.4455. www.dciproducts.com.
