Product Summary
The ForceField® air and water barrier system consists of engineered wood sheathing panels which are laminated with a proprietary air and water barrier. The panels install just like standard OSB or plywood sheathing. Once installed and taped with ForceField seam tape, the system creates an integrated air and water barrier for your structure, eliminating the need for separate house wrap. When you do away with this step it helps save you time and labor costs, which ultimately lowers your total installed costs. The ForceField system is ideal for residential or light commercial construction.
Construction and Materials
Georgia-Pacific Wood offers a range of products designed for various construction needs, categorized under Lumber & Engineered Wood and Weatherization & Flashing.
Engineered Wood Products
- Overview: Georgia-Pacific Wood Products provides engineered wood panels and boards that are a core component in many construction projects. These products are engineered to offer superior strength, consistency, and performance compared to traditional lumber.
- Construction: While specific construction details vary by product line, engineered wood panels generally involve the bonding of wood strands, veneers, or fibers together with adhesives under heat and pressure. This process creates robust, dimensionally stable materials.
- Materials: The primary material used is wood. Specific types of wood and the adhesives employed are proprietary and optimized for strength, durability, and moisture resistance depending on the intended application.
Weatherization & Flashing Products
- Overview: Under the Weatherization & Flashing category, Georgia-Pacific Wood Products offers solutions designed to protect structures from the elements, contributing to energy efficiency and long-term building integrity. This includes air and water barrier systems.
- Construction: These products are typically constructed as membranes or sheathing enhancements that are integrated into the building envelope. Their design focuses on creating a continuous barrier against air infiltration and bulk water intrusion while allowing for vapor diffusion.
- Materials: Materials used in these applications often include specialized films, reinforcing fabrics, and proprietary coatings. These are engineered to provide the necessary strength, flexibility, and barrier properties required for effective weatherization.
Features and Benefits
Georgia-Pacific Wood Products offers a comprehensive range of wood-based building materials designed to meet the demands of modern construction. Their extensive product lines cater to both structural and weatherization needs, providing builders and contractors with reliable, high-performance solutions.

Product Summary
HardieWrap weather barrier provides a balance of water resistance and breathability, reducing water intrusion while allowing water vapor from inside your home to escape. This keeps the area within your walls dry.
HardieWrap Pro-Flashing is a butyl rubber self-adhesive designed to peel and stick around windows and doors to prevent water and air intrusion. It also self-seals around fasteners.
HardieWrap Flex Flashing is designed to easily stretch and seal around custom shapes — including windows and doorsills — to prevent water and air from entering the building.
HardieWrap Seam Tape is designed to seal vertical and horizontal seams and small holes in the weather barrier to prevent air and water infiltration.
