Morning, new to the forum here! I tried to post an attachment but had some issues.
Question regarding how our contractor executed our additional rigid foam insulation. I have concerns with the LP Smartside board and batten warranty as well as longevity of foam with the layering due to water/pests. Description of wall from inside to outside below. If anyone has insight on how to post larger photos/files, I could supply those.
1/2” gypsum board
2×6” studs 24” or 20” o.c., dried cellulose between.
9/16” OSB
2 layers of EPS r 15.2
2×3 nailers/furrings running horizontal at 24” oc, 6 inch nails into every stud
block-it housewrap
LP Smartside Board and Batten
Any help is greatly appreciated.
