LP Building Products has launched LP LongLength XL OSB Sheathing for Wind Zones. Engineered to meet codes in high wind and hurricane-prone regions, the panels are 48 inches wide and pre-cut for varying wall heights. The panels shift wind uplift loads through the sheathing by connecting the sill plate to the upper top plate with one continuous panel; this, along with an increased fastener schedule, lets the builder use less hardware in the wall.
