OX Engineered Products is expanding its ThermoPLY® portfolio with ThermoPLY Utility Board AB, a mechanically attached non-structural air barrier and draft stop designed to help builders meet energy code requirements. The product also serves as temporary floor and surface protection during construction, equipped with a poly barrier designed to guard against spills. ThermoPLY Utility Board AB extends the proven performance of the ThermoPLY system into non-structural applications where efficient air sealing, moisture management, and simple installation are essential. The new board is lightweight, easy to handle, and designed for use in wall assemblies, knee walls, attics, fireplaces, tubs, and shower surrounds.
“Today’s builders are challenged to deliver increasingly energy-efficient homes while maintaining efficiency during construction,” said Todd Gluski, director of marketing and customer operations at OX Engineered Products. “ThermoPLY Utility Board AB solves two common jobsite challenges with a single product: helping improve air barrier continuity while providing durable protection for floors and surfaces during construction. It is a practical solution that supports both building performance and jobsite productivity.” In addition to serving as a non-structural air barrier, ThermoPLY Utility Board AB’s draft stop helps builders meet ENERGY STAR® requirements and supports improved building envelope performance. The product also incorporates a water-resistive layer that can contribute to code-compliant moisture management when installed in accordance with manufacturer guidelines.
