Arclin is exhibiting an expanded line of its Firepoint™ sheathing products at the 2026 International Builders' Show. The company's range is highlighted by the introduction of a new 10-foot oriented strand board panel designed for taller wall construction.
The core innovation behind Arclin's Firepoint™ sheathing products remains a proprietary treatment that grants the wood-based panel a 90-minute fire resistance rating when incorporated into approved wall assemblies. This performance is noted for exceeding standard building code requirements by approximately 53%.
Arclin's showcase at the 2026 International Builders' Show will also include other job-site solutions, such as the Peelshield™ Floor Protection covering film and the Liquid-Applied WRB & Firepoint-Compatible Caulk. The brand's presence at the trade show is further amplified by YouTube Personality Matt Risinger.
