Wood Stud Walls

Installation & Design Considerations

• Maximum wood stud spacing 24” o.c., 16” o.c. for fire resistance rated assemblies.
• Provide adequate lateral bracing for structural framing. FOAMULAR® insulation is not a structural material.
• Fit insulation board joints tightly and tape with Owens Corning BILD-R-TAPE®.
• Install siding materials according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Shingle or vertical siding applications; attach horizontal wood nailing strips through insulation to studs. Nail shingles or siding to strips.
• Provide adequate flashings and caulk movement joints.
• The need for and placement of vapor retarders should be determined by the building designer.
• Architect must supply detailed drawings to meet project and building code requirements.
