Keep heat ñ and your energy
dollars* ñ from leaking away.
Consider building with
Owens Corning's PINK
THERMAL WALL.
Wood, the most popular
building material, is not an
efficient thermal barrier.When
studs are not insulated they
act as "thermal shorts" allowing
excessive heat transfer into
and out of wall construction.
Owens Corning CodeBord
Sheathing ñ the most practical
way to build.
Simply replacing wood sheathing
with CodeBord allows you to
construct a thermal envelope
around your home. CodeBord
sheathing construction, in
conjunction with the gypsum
board finish on the interior
walls, meets minimum code
requirements for bracing
strength yet also eliminates
thermal shortcuts, enhancing
energy performance.
CodeBord Sheathing
Performance
R-value** of 5 per inch.
Moisture resistant.
Increased R-value means
increased resistance to
heat flow, which can result
in reduced heating and
cooling costs.
The tight ship-lapped joints
on installed panels perform
as an air retarder system
(ASTM E 1677) and minimize
moisture infiltration.
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY FOR ENERGY EFFICIENT HOMES
* Actual savings vary depending on initial insulation
levels, climate, house tightness and occupant activities.
** R-value means resistance to heat flow. The higher
the R-value the greater the insulating power.
FoamSealRTM sill plate
gasket fights moisture and
air infiltration beneath the
sill plate.
PINK THERMALWALL CONSTRUCTION
A COMPLETE SYSTEM
PINK THERMALWALL construction combines CodeBord
Insulation sheathing with PINK FIBERGLAS batts and
FoamSealRTM Sill Gaskets for increased exterior R-value.
TYPICAL EXTERIOR
WALL CONSTRUCTION
USING WOOD SHEATHING
Wood studs in an exterior wall
can account for up to 25% of
the wall's total area. Uninsulated
studs allow unwanted heat
transfer out of the structure.
Heat is prevented from leaking
through the wall by utilizing
PINKTHERMAL WALL in exterior
construction.
CodeBord insulation
sheathing keeps heat inside
the structure and keeps the
cavity and studs warmer.
This reduces the potential
for moisture to accumulate
which could threaten deterioration
of the structural
elements, plus contribute to
poor indoor air quality.
CodeBord is produced in
fitted 4'x 8' or 4' x 9' panels
that are easier to trim and
install than standard wood
sheathing.
R-20 PINK FIBERGLAS
batt insulation for 2x6
walls forms a solid thermal
barrier between studs.
EXTERIOR WALL
CONSTRUCTION WITH THE
PINK THERMALWALL
R-12 batts available for 2x4 walls, where applicable.
R-20 insulation, when installed in 2x6 framing, is compressed into the
standard stud depth of 51/2" and delivers a thermal resistance of R-19.
