Coastal Forest Products Now Distributing LP NovaCore™ Thermal Insulated Sheathing

Enhances its line of valued added, high-performance building envelope solutions.

Designed to defend against heat and cold, LP NovaCore Thermal Insulated Sheathing provides a continuous extruded
polystyrene (XPS) layer between interior home spaces and the outside world. It will be one of the only insulated panel
products on the market that combines XPS foam with an oriented strand board (OSB) substrate. The XPS foam provides
continuous insulation with a higher R-value than standard sheathing and does not deteriorate over time, unlike some
other foam insulation products. Despite the product’s add-ons for insulation, it still uses standard 2×4 spacing. This
important benefit means that builders in many regions do not need to adjust their framing to use this sheathing.

LP NovaCore Thermal Insulated Sheathing is a structural product that addresses these code demands by combining built-
in code compliance and easier installation for builders with energy efficiency and long-term value for homeowners.
Proven features of LP NovaCore sheathing include its ability to reduce heating and cooling costs for homeowners by
maintaining a stable indoor environment, as well as its adherence to both International Building Code (IBC) and
International Residential Code (IRC) structural requirements so that contractors can confidently use the panels in any
build.
