Managing Moisture on the Jobsite

When it comes to construction, there are many unforeseen factors that can potentially complicate or halt a project. As any builder knows, moisture on the jobsite can cause delays and increase expenses. 

LP products are designed to deliver outstanding moisture management. Many of them have Exposure 1 certification while plywood and gypsum do not. Exposure 1 products can withstand normal moisture during construction delays, while still maintaining strength and durability.

LP TopNotch offers RainChannel Technology, a unique RainChannel notch system to help drain rainwater away during construction. In addition to the notch system, a moisture-resistant edge sealant is applied to all TopNotch products.
