Creating a truly energy-efficient building envelope goes beyond specifying one or two products in isolation. ResidentialComplete from Owens Corning combines several insulation and weatherization products that together provide continuous insulation while serving as an air barrier and managing water vapor penetration. The system can be customized for use with wood or steel studs, structural insulated panels, and concrete masonry construction. It includes the company’s Foamular Extruded Polystyrene Sheathing, EcoTouch Insulation, EnergyComplete Sealant, and JointSealR Foam Joint Tape. owenscorning.com
