Everyone seems to have jumped on the ZIP System bandwagon. Starting to see this material thru out the industry. I just hope it's not one of those popular building products that have failure problems 20 to 30 years down the road. Like all building products, it comes down to installing it correctly.
I am having trouble understanding the advantage this product provides over plywood and quality synthetic roof underlayment. Can the roof and wall panels be taped or liquid sealed in the rain or freezing weather?
