PlastiSpan insulation board can be used as an exterior insulating sheathing over wood or steel studs to increase the thermal resistance of a wall to any desired value without changing the framing system. When PlastiSpan insulation is placed over the entire exterior of the building, it provides a monolithic insulation to eliminate thermal shorts and reduce air infiltration while preserving the economy and familiarity of the framing system.
To obtain maximum energy efficiency, a layer of PlastiSpan insulation should be placed over the entire exterior of the building envelope. PlastiSpan insulating wall sheathing can be matched in thickness to exterior basement insulation to provide a continuous blanket of insulation without changes in surface level. Where the exterior finish of a wall must be supported by the building frame several systems are suggested using either a metal T-stud or nailers.
