ABSTRACT:
A sheathing panel is adapted for mounting to the outside of a structure wall framework. Each panel has an inside surface including top and bottom portions positionable against horizontal frame members of the framework, and two side portions positionable against framework vertical frame members. Grooves in the inside surface extend downwardly from the panel top edge below the top edge portion to allow passage of air between said portion and its associated horizontal frame member. A horizontal channel in the inside surface allows passage of air between the surface and any abutting vertical frame member. A horizontal manifold at the panel bottom edge substantially spans the panel width. A plurality of slots in the inside surface extend downwardly from above the bottom edge portion toward the manifold, stopping short thereof to form a partition between each groove and manifold. The side edges of the panels are shiplapped to facilitate mounting of a plurality of panels in a horizontal row. Top panels can be mounted in rows above a bottom horizontal row. Bottom panels are mounted unaltered. Prior to the mounting of each top panel, the partitions are removed to effectively extend the slots to the manifold.
