RetroSheath: A Designed Process System

1. On-site measuring methodologies2. Measurements ingested into CAD software3. CAD software creates ISP production orders

and material buy lists4. CAD/CAM software produces custom ISP5. CAD software creates on-site installation

sequence of work, including any special cases

Fundamental Advantages of RetroSheath

1. Better building envelope results for existing structures

2. Handles out-of-plumb—i.e., real—existing structures

3. Simplified building process leads to lower on-site labor costs

4. Existing old siding can often be left in place

RetroSheath ISP Advantages

1. RetroSheath is a designed process system using ISPs2. ISPs present fewer potential seam sealing challenges3. ISPs result in handling fewer layers and pieces4. ISPs provide redress of plumb, level, and square

problems 5. ISPs are custom manufactured to conform within

tolerances to existing window, door, or other external wall cut-through requirements, reducing time on site for installation and trim-out
