SummersideTM Steel Shingles: a complete roofing systemSummersideTM Steel Shingles are designed to outlast and outperform traditional roofing materials. They are precision engineered from 28 gauge steel with a double embossed finish, so they're stronger than most other steel shingle roofing systems. The unique four way interlocking system tightens on all four sides to resist wind uplift and heavy snowloads. And because they are non-combustible, the steel panelscannot catch fire.
SummersideTM Steel Shingles are designed to last. And, whiletraditional shingles are lower in initial cost, they have a very limited lifespan compared to steel.
Combining the rustic appearance of cedar with the strength of steel, SummersideTM Steel Shingles are available in an assortment of natural colours to enhance and compliment the look of your home.
Features and Benefits:
• Durable; made with tough 28 gauge, double embossed steel
• Unique, simple interlocking system allows for faster installation time
• Will not rot, crack, burn or fade
• Where building codes allow, SummersideTM Shingles can be installed directly over most traditional roofing materials, reducing install time and eliminating landfill waste

ROUGH CONSTRUCTION
ENERGY STAR for New HomesThis edition of Rough Construction comes at a time when both contractors and homeowners need to be aware and become familiar with the latest update to ENERGY STAR for New Homes, otherwise known as ESNH.
The new and improved standard, which took effect on Dec. 1 of last year, was developed by Natural Resources Canada (NRC) with assistance from home-building professionals across the country and key industry stakeholders, some of whom can be found on the pages of this publication.
Unlike the previous standard, which was only available in Ontario and Saskatchewan, the latest version is now available to new home buyers across Canada and further contributes to energy efficiency through some new and tough requirements.
For example, according to an NRC document, its stringency has been increased to keep the energy efficiency level in an ESNH home a full 20% “better” than emerging codes.
“By identifying and promoting energy-saving products the initiative helps protect the environment and lowers energy bills at the same time. The Office of Energy Efficiency of NRC has promoted the international ENERGY STAR symbol in Canada and monitored its use since 2001.”
A recent NRC press release pointed out that in order to earn the “trusted label,” homes must be built by a trained ENERGY STAR builder and meet technical requirements developed by the federal government. In addition, the homes themselves must be verified by an independent third-party energy advisor to ensure they meet the standard.
The NRC document states that key features of a typical ENERGY STAR home include: • More energy space conditioning systems such as furnaces, air conditioners and water heaters.• Fenestration products such as windows, glass doors and skylights that are ENERGY STAR qualified.
This feature alone may reduce energy costs by more than 10%.• More insulation in the ceilings and walls than required by the building code.• In terms of air tightness, homes that qualify must meet specified maximum air leakage limits, which
help save energy for heating and cooling as well as increasing comfort.It is a valuable and worthwhile initiative.

INSULATION
Canada’s goal is to mandate net zero performance for all buildings by 2030 to help reduce energy consumption and green house gases. Building codes will be mandating increased levels of insulation and significantly improved levels of air tightness to help build net zero ready homes.
Owens Corning™ FOAMULAR® CodeBord® Air Barrier System is an innovative solution that helps builders cost effectively meet new energy efficiency requirements in building codes and other voluntary programs such as Next Generation Energy Star, R-2000 and Novoclimat. It is an optimal heat, air and moisture management system in Canada. This system helps provide optimal occupant comfort by significantly reducing air exfiltration and infiltration and by providing a continuous insulation layer over the structure which minimizes heat loss and gains through thermal bridging.
For your customers, this Owens Corning™ Canada innovation means a comfortable home with reduced
drafts. The home is quiet because reduced air leakage means there are few paths for airborne noise penetration from the exterior. The building is durable due to reduced potential for moisture damage from condensation caused by air leakage. This improvement in energy efficiency – results in reduced heating and cooling energy costs.*
The CABS system is easy to assemble, weather resistant, cost competitive and durable. The system consists of two primary components:
• FOAMULAR® CodeBord® extruded polystyrene rigid insulating sheathing
• FoamSealR™ closed cell polyethylene sealing gaskets and/or FOAMULAR® JointSealR™ Sheathing Tape and JointSealR™Flashing Tape
Owens Corning™ FOAMULAR® CodeBord® Air Barrier System can provide clear advantages and benefits to builders and customers alike.
Keep ahead of the changing building codes with Owens Corning Canada Innovative Solutions
1. Ease of installation using current trades.2. Easier to achieve continuity and less joints
to seal compared to warm side air barrier systems, such as sealed polyethylene.
3. Where the FOAMULAR® CodeBord® is the air barrier system, the polyethylene vapour barrier need not be sealed.
4. An effective weather resistant barrier with sealed joints no longer requiring an additional sheathing membrane (e.g. building paper may be omitted).
5. Makes use of commonly available materials such as extruded polystyrene wall insulating sheathing (FOAMULAR® CodeBord® 4’ x 8’/4’x9’ or 4’x10’ sheets), sealing gaskets (FoamSealR™), and Owens Corning Joint SealR™ Foam Sheathing and Flashing Tape.
6. Is a feature that can differentiate you from the competition.
7. Is backed by one of North America’s most respected building products manufacturers.
8. Third party certified.
The FOAMULAR® CodeBord® Air Barrier System from Owens Corning is an optimal heat, air and moisture management system in Canada.
