| PrimerSource says the Grip-Ritre SpeedSpike is the first widely available collated solution for high R-value insulated exterior sheathing. |
Continuous insulation delivers enhanced thermal performance and improved moisture management combined with the structural support of traditional sheathing panels in modern wall assemblies, and the fasteners holding them together are key to their success.
Grip-Rite SpeedSpike is ideal for use in residential and commercial applications where high R-value sheathing is required by code or desired by the builder. As stricter energy efficiency standards become the norm, high R-value continuous insulated sheathing is critical in regions across Climate Zones 5–8. Current solutions often require crews to hand-drive up to 42 individual fasteners per sheet, significantly adding to installation time, labor costs, and jobsite fatigue.
High R-value insulated sheathing calls for a fastening solution that's both faster and longer. Grip-Rite SpeedSpike was designed as an efficient solution for contractors.
According to PrimeSource, the Grip-Rite SpeedSpike can be installed over 5-times faster than hand-driven fasteners. In addition, it will drive a full 2-inches into a stud.
"Contractors asked and we delivered. Grip-Rite SpeedSpike is a direct response to their needs and a clear example of how we innovate to bring broad-scale efficiency to the jobsite faster, deeper, and stronger," said Isabelle Csiszar, senior product manager for PrimeSource Building Products.
Beyond speed and performance, Grip-Rite SpeedSpike is priced competitively and distinct from existing market options in both efficiency and labor savings.
