Healthy Framing

🛠️ Healthy Framing: Building Strength and Protection Into Every Wall

Framing is often seen as the "bones" of a home—but can it actually contribute to a healthier living environment? The answer is yes. At Redwood Constructors, we use smart framing techniques that go beyond structural integrity to improve the air quality, comfort, and durability of your home.

ZIP System Sheathing: Built-In Protection

We frame our homes using ZIP System® sheathing, a high-performance material by Huber Woods that combines structural strength with built-in waterproofing and air barrier technology.

This innovative sheathing system works harder than traditional methods by:

• Sealing out water to prevent moisture intrusion

• Blocking air leaks to boost energy efficiency

• Keeping bugs and allergens out of the building envelope

By integrating the air and water barrier directly into the exterior sheathing, ZIP panels simplify construction and eliminate the need for separate house wraps—reducing points of failure and creating a tighter, healthier home envelope.

Why Healthy Framing Matters

• Prevents mold and moisture issues

• Improves indoor air quality

• Enhances thermal performance

• Keeps insects and outdoor pollutants at bay

With cleaner air, fewer allergens, and a tighter, drier building envelope, your home starts out not just strong—but smart.

Building Better From the Frame Up

Healthy homes begin with healthy framing. Our approach ensures every wall we raise helps create a more resilient, efficient, and comfortable space for you and your family.
