1. A sheathing product, comprising:
- a structural substrate having two sides and two or more edges; and
a weather resistive barrier, the weather resistive barrier covering and attached to one side of the structural substrate prior to securing the structural substrate to a frame of a building;
wherein a part of the weather resistive barrier extends beyond an edge of the structural substrate to form a flap that allows the weather resistive barrier to be attached to an abutting sheathing product.

Abstract
A sheathing product having a structural substrate with two or more edges. The sheathing product also having a weather resistive barrier attached to the structural substrate prior to securing the structural substrate to a frame of a building. A part of the weather resistive barrier extends beyond an edge of the structural substrate to create a flap that allows the weather resistive barrier to be attached to an abutting sheathing product.

11. A method of insulating a joint between two sheathing products, comprising:
-
providing a first sheathing product having a weather resistive barrier attached to a structural substrate such that the weather resistive barrier of the first sheathing product overlaps the structural substrate at an edge and forms a flap along the overlapped edge; providing a second sheathing product having a weather resistive barrier attached to a structural substrate; securing the first sheathing product to a frame of a building; securing the second sheathing product to the frame of the building with the flap of the first sheathing product overlapping the second sheathing product; and adhering the flap of the first sheathing product to the weather resistive barrier of the second sheathing product; wherein a joint formed between the first and second sheathing products is insulated by the flap extending from the first sheathing product to the second sheathing product. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method of fabricating a sheathing product, comprising:
-
providing a structural substrate having two or more edges; and attaching a weather resistive barrier to the structural substrate such that a part of the weather resistive barrier extends beyond the structural substrate along at least one edge; wherein the weather resistive barrier is attached to the structural substrate prior to securing the structural substrate to a frame of a building. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
