ForceField® Weather Barrier System Experiences Rapid, Strategic Growth
(ATLANTA) – Georgia-Pacific, a leading commercial and residential building products manufacturer committed to developing the highest-quality products while leading with a tireless commitment to innovation, recently announced the expanded distribution of ForceField® Weather Barrier System throughout key markets nationwide, a move designed to answer customer needs and wants with a quality solution and increased availability for single family and multifamily builders.
ForceField® Weather Barrier System is an integrated WRB (weather-resistive barrier) sheathing system for walls and sloped roofs that helps to reduce weather-related challenges and delays, simplifies construction, and helps to dry in multifamily and residential structures faster compared to traditional systems. The ForceField® Weather Barrier System is comprised of ForceField® integrated WRB sheathing panels and compatible wall and roof tape accessories. The products work together to deliver a seamless build. ForceField® Weather Barrier System was first introduced in 2016.
Expanded distribution is already active in multiple key markets from Colorado to the east coast, and additional markets are being added monthly.
“Our ForceField® Weather Barrier System footprint is already strong” said John Beers, vice president sales – structural panels. “This increased strategic distribution will allow us to raise awareness of this exceptional integrated WRB sheathing system and provide larger customer access in additional markets across the country. We plan to continue to tell the One GP story: from exterior sheathing to roof board, lumber, drywall, and subfloor, builders can do it all with one company, one brand, one supplier, one contact for any concerns. We’ve streamlined the process across the board.”
Enhanced distribution of ForceField® Weather Barrier System will increase availability of the product to all customers. With every ForceField® Weather Barrier System order comes direct access to the Georgia-Pacific sales team and the white-glove service our customers have come to expect.
Customers will have access to the complete line of ForceField® Weather Barrier System products and accessories. The ForceField® Weather Barrier System is available in panel sizes 4’x8’, 4’x9’, and 4’x10’, with the Seam Tape available in 3”x180’ rolls, the Seam Tape Plus in 3.5”x90’ rolls, and the Premium Tape for sloped roof applications. Additional options include Flex Flashing and Corner Seal. ForceField® Weather Barrier System comes with a 10-year limited transferrable warranty.
