Installation Instructions

Radiant Barrier Sheathing
(cont.)
Gable Installation
Installing LP TechShield sheathing in the gable ends will help
contribute to the reduction in solar gain and the overall energy-
efcient design of the attic space. As with the installation of LP
TechShield sheathing on roofs, it is important that it is installed
with the foil side facing into the attic.
