Continuous Insulation
For use in residential and low-rise
commercial applications, Continuous
Insulation offers a complete,
engineered solution for required
structural performance. Including
PermaBase as a component in this
system reinforces the building and
provides the ability to incorporate an
effective water-management system.
Benefits Include
Engineered system that allows
a faster installation while
providing superior quality control
(manufactured product that
must comply with ASTM product
specifications)
Helps mitigate the loss of heat/
air conditioning by insulating the
studs (reduces thermal bridging)
Helps eliminate air and moisture
leakage
Appropriate for all climates,
resists the growth of mold and
mildew and offers fire protection
Provides added dimensional
stability
Helps prevent the Water/Air
Resistive Barrier (WRB) from
being compromised as assembly
components shift
Provides a 15-year exterior
warranty – the industry’s best
Limitations
Sheathing selection and
installation varies according to
type of wall construction
Code-approved Water/Air
Resistive Barrier (WRB) must
first be installed (type and
placement will vary per local
building codes and/or manufac-
turer’s specifications, installation
guidelines and warranties)

This section of the PermaBase Construction Guide provides information
on how to utilize PermaBase within both a CBMV System and a
Continuous Insulation System. While some typical examples are shown
(right) for reference purposes, the specifications and details on how
to design and construct individual systems should be obtained from
the adhering material or veneer manufacturer of the materials that
are being used to complete the system.
