Blueskin® VPTech™: Easy Energy Efficiency

One Pass.
Done Right.

Blueskin VPTech combines Blueskin VP100 premium weather-resistive barrier (WRB), Type II nominal 1" R5 GPS continuous insulation and a patent-pending pre-applied seam-sealing solution into a single-step product. By engineering continuous insulation with thermal, air, and moisture protection that can be installed in one pass around the house, Henry has created a time-saving solution for builders under pressure to build better and faster.

Easy Energy Efficiency

Installing lightweight Blueskin VPTech panels will be familiar to any contractor who has installed continuous insulation with mechanical fasteners. The integrated seam-sealing strip combined with the WRB makes it easy to achieve an air- and watertight barrier — even for novice contractors. For builders with less experienced teams, this can make more team members available to perform the task. For experienced builders, it can make the work move up to 30% faster*.

Small Change. Big impact.

Switching from separate WRB, CI and seam tape to Blueskin VPTech is a simple change that can improve your productivity and the performance of the homes you build. By eliminating uncontrolled air leakage and providing thermal breaks, Blueskin VPTech helps lower a homes's HERS^® score and contributes to ENERGY STAR^® and Zero Energy Ready Home (ZERH) program requirements — all of which makes your homes more attractive to today's energy-conscious buyers.
