Thermo-Brace S.I.B. is the industry's first 4-in-one solution for structural sheathing that can be installed both ways!
WEATHER RESISTANT
Replaces the need for additional WRB protection, yet still protects against rain, vapor, heat, cold, & more.
AIR BARRIER
Meets AIB requirements while providing improved air barrier properties, increased indoor air quality, and fire resistance.
R-VALUE
Two 2018 energy code options, R3 and R5, designed to resist heat flow and temperature conduction while offering an outstanding thermal break system.
STRUCTURAL
Both options can be used in place of OSB. R3 and R5 both meet structural requirements with test results you can trust.
Thermo-Brace S.I.B. is made with high-performing, best-in-class insulation provided by BASF Neopor® Plus GPS Insulation.
Neopor Plus GPS is the optimum rigid foam component solution for continuous insulation that delivers a stable, long-term R-value —saving on building materials and installation.
Made with Builders In Mind.

WHY USE THERMO-BRACE S.I.B?
FOR STARTERS, IT'S THE 1ST REVERSIBLE, 4 LAYER STRUCTURAL SHEATHING SOLUTION AVAILABLE TO THE MARKET
Thermo-Brace S.I.B. has superior strength to OSB, a WRB, and insulation in one solution. Unlike Polyiso and XPS, Neopor GPS doesn’t rely on captive blowing agents that deplete over time to boost its R-value. Due to the captive blowing agents, XPS and Polyiso may only retain 90% of their initial R-value over its lifetime. Additionally, compared to EPS (white foam), Neopor GPS delivers up to 30% higher R-value.
CODE COMPLIANT
• Two 2018 energy code options, R3 and R5
• Designed to resist heat flow and temperature conduction
• Protects against rain, vapor moisture, heat, and cold
• Manufactured with non-toxic materials
• Neopor GPS is GREENGUARD certified for Gold Indoor Air Quality
• Complies with the energy code using 2ʺx4ʺ conventional framing
instead of 2ʺx6ʺ
EASY INSTALL
• Less than half the weight of traditional OSB
• Can be installed with the foam side facing in or out, the WRB is on both sides.
• Provides a faster structural sheathing install, saving on labor and related costs
• Can be installed up to 24" on center
• Reduces thermal bridging
