W-2-A) Fabric-Wrapped 440 SoundBarrier To Wood or Metal Framing 1) Apply fabric to 440 SoundBarrier panels using adhesive recommended by fabric manufacturer for application to wood fiberboard. The fabric adhesive must be applied to the face of the panel in the proper amount to prevent bleed-through. Wrap fabric and glue around edges and continue for 2” on backside of board. Homasote is not responsible for the appearance or performance of job-site fabric-wrapped panels.

R EXTERIOR VERTICAL SHEATHING APPLICATION Homasote may be left exposed to weather during construction in a vertically installed application. House wrap or felt paper may be applied over the Homasote using staples. Apply finished siding following siding manufacturer's installation instructions. All edges of panel must fall on framing at all times. If an edge does not fall on any framing, then blocking must be installed. See Notes* below.
