Green vs. Brown ZIP System: What’s the Difference?  @buildshow
Uploaded June 2026 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago
Think ZIP System sheathing is color-coded for walls vs. roofs? Not exactly. Matt Risinger breaks down the real difference between green and brown ZIP System panels, how panel thickness impacts structural performance, and why code requirements, engineering needs, coastal zones, and seismic areas can determine which sheathing belongs in your roof or wall assembly. Plus, see how ZIP System roof panels can help eliminate H-clips for a cleaner, more efficient install. ZIP it up.

Huge thanks to our sponsor, Huber.
