Hey everyone,
Quick question, currently we have a huge renovation going, I’m an electrical contractor myself and I work in a lot of custom high end builds but I wanted to make sure we are following the correct steps here for what I’m trying to achieve.
I’ve done tons of research but can’t find an exact answer.
We have VP100 blue skin on the exterior, new windows will be an “innie”, I’m wanting to insulate with 1.5” XPS (Colorado climate in mountains), do I need some rain screen/furing strips under the xps to allow any moisture to drain and dry while in direct contact with the Blueskin?
Or do we just secure the XPS to the Blueskin , then install rain screen and stucco?
Lastly, I can’t seem to find a clear window detail for exterior insulation with stucco and no window trim, we just want it smooth with a sloped sill.
Thank you!!
