THANK YOU LP Building Products!
THANK YOU LP Building Products!
We want to give a big THANK YOU to all the help from LP Building Product for all there work on the Future House. When we were trying to plan the building, one of our goals was to maximize its efficiency. We found in our research that exterior foam core was the least expensive way to add R value. So, we choose a combination of 1″ XPS foam and 1″ of Structural Insulated Sheathing. Well that’s where the problems started. We were told, “No, you can’t do that.” We responded, “Well, why not?”
So they answered us…When you wrap a home with foam and then screw and / or nail it in you have download pressure on the foam and then the siding could sag. Well that is a problem… But we knew there could be a way to figure this out. It isn’t that unusual to have 2″ of foam on the exterior of a high performance house, and pretty soon this is the way homes will built in the near future. We know this is not only the smart way to build the Future House, but it was the right way. Who could help us solve this problem?
In comes Paul, Matt, and Lance from LP Building Product. They believe, as we do this is the way to maximize the efficiency of homes and the way of the future. So their team is helping us figure out how many pounds per square inch can be placed on each screw and / or nail used. And how big that fasteners needs to be when going through 2″ of foam to the exterior of the building to carry the weight of the LP SmartSiding. Amazing…Right?!?
