This was the proposed assembly :
1/4″ Wood T/G decorative planking over 2×4 studs
Smart Membrane Vapor Barrier
R-15 Rockwool Batt
3/8″ exterior ply sheathing w/ WRB (eg Benjamin Obdyke Hydrogap).
1″ Polysico or XPS foam board over WRB exterior.” *
3/8″ air, water gap as rain screen drainage plane
3/8″ Siding
After doing further research I noted that some folks use GPS (Nucor) Type 2 Rigid form board because of its better permeability (3.1) for drying than XPS (nearly impermeable). As it will also serve as the rain screen behind the cladding I am unsure of which is better and if the GPS should be faced or left plain.
Am I overthinking this?
