Pros installing high R-value insulated sheathing, Grip-Rite® SpeedSpike™ is here to accelerate your process. As energy and building codes evolve to include continuous insulation on the exterior of home builds, the old solutions aren’t cutting it.
Until now, no widely available, collated fastener has been able to achieve the embedment depth required by manufacturers. Because of this hole in the market, each sheet of thick sheathing balloons the amount of time your crew spends on each job. Pre-drilling and hand-driving each of the over forty fasteners required takes a significant amount of time.
Couple that with a reduced labor force, and you have the perfect storm of inefficient methods and smaller, more expensive crews.
Grip-Rite SpeedSpike™ is designed with the pro in mind. It speeds up installation over five times faster* than hand driving, ensures at least two inches of embedment in the stud, and {third proof point here}.
With SpeedSpike™, you can move quickly through high R-value sheathing jobs. Energy codes aren’t likely to shy away from thick exterior sheathing, and with Grip-Rite, you won’t have to either.
