Owens Corning PROPINKŪ insulating sheathing is a premium insulating panel used to construct the exterior walls of your home. It features a tough laminated skin on both sides of its rigid foam core. The reinforced laminated skin makes it extremely resistant to damage and a perfect choice for new construction.

Exterior walls made of PROPINK deliver considerably greater R-value than plywood, oriented strand board (OSB) or other non-insulation products. In fact, once fiber glass insulation is placed in the exterior wall stud cavities, the completed 2x4 wall can achieve a total value of up to R-20. PROPINK is designed to be used with either wood or metal studs and suits a variety of exterior finishes including vinyl, metal and aluminum sidings; masonry veneer; and reinforced stucco.

If you're a "do-it-yourselfer," you'll find installation instructions below. Or you can use the Dealer/Contractor Locator to find the professional installer nearest you.

PROPINK is NOT A STRUCTURAL material and is not designed to replace corner wall bracing or structural sheathing like OSB or plywood.
