Nice video on ZIP. Why do I see it installed vertically more so nowadays. I am accustomed to horizontal install of sheeting. I always thought that horizontally provided more strength.
The Zip System Sheathing is Structural 1 Rated. The strength axis is parallel with the long dimension of the panel (8 ft Side. Typically structural engineers want the strength axis to be in a vertical position on the walls to get the maximum shear value. This is more commonly done in areas that have high seismic and wind loads that need to be factored in. Here is link to the info on the load values for Hubers Zip Sheathing constructioninstruction.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Zip-S-Tech_Tip_ZIP_Sheathing_Load-Span_Tables_v2.pdf. Here is a link to Hubers website referencing the Zip Sheathing with resources www.huberwood.com/zip-system/wall-sheathing. Here are the install instructions www.huberwood.com/uploads/documents/technical/Installation-Manual-ZIP-System-Sheathing-Wall-and-Roof.pdf
