LP® TechShield® Brand Joins Southern Living Custom Builder Program

LP® TechShield® Radiant Barrier Sheathing has joined the Southern Living Custom Builder Program as a 2014 sponsor.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (June 17, 2014) – LP® TechShield® Radiant Barrier Sheathing, the original and No. 1 brand of radiant barrier sheathing, has joined the Southern Living Custom Builder Program as a 2014 sponsor. The Southern Living brand has established itself as a leading voice in Southern lifestyle and has built a network of some of the finest custom homebuilders in the South, with a focus on craftsmanship, excellence in architecture and homebuilding that tells a Southern story.

“Over the past few years, LP TechShield Radiant Barrier Sheathing has gained traction in the South. Because of the region’s traditionally hot summers, the product is a great fit for our customers, helping build energy efficiency into each home,” said Lorraine Bittles, OSB product manager. “Now, as a member of the Southern Living program, we’re excited to come alongside some of the South’s leading custom builders with a collective goal to reduce energy costs and keep homes cooler.”

Installed in more than 1 million homes, LP TechShield Radiant Barrier Sheathing transforms a new home’s roof into a barrier that helps block the sun’s relentless heat. It can lower attic temperatures by 30 degrees, which in turn can reduce a home’s monthly cooling costs by up to 17 percent. 

The product features a durable layer of aluminum laminated to LP OSB sheathing, which acts like a shield against the sun’s heat, making it a smart, simple way to help build a more energy-efficient and comfortable home. 

LP TechShield Sheathing is the only radiant barrier with VaporVents, incisions that penetrate the foil, glue and OSB substrate. This patented, post-lamination incising process allows LP TechShield panels to dry more quickly from construction moisture than other radiant barrier panels.
