3. Air Sealing: In addition to faced insulation, it's essential to ensure proper air sealing in
the building envelope. This includes sealing gaps, cracks, and penetrations in the walls,
roof, and foundation. Effective air sealing combined with faced insulation enhances
energy efficiency and reduces the risk of moisture-related issues.
Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and local building codes to ensure proper
installation and moisture control in the chosen insulation system.
Another Insulation Option:
If a high R-value and effective moisture resistance are crucial, closed-cell spray foam is
often the better choice in regions with both hot and snowy conditions.
Tips for your Frame Kit
Lay Out the Panel Sections: Plan the layout of the CFS panelized sections on the slab
according to the building design and Numbered panel sections. Refer to the framing
notes panel layout and connections.
Start at the corner: Create an “L” using the screws provided to attach the panel section
together.
Connect Corner or Form a "U": Connect one or more panels to form a corner or a "U"
shape, depending on the building design. By connecting panels at corners, you establish
a stable starting point for the frame.
Align and Adjust: Carefully align the connected panels and adjust them to ensure they
are level, plumb, and properly positioned. Use levels, plumb bobs, and measuring tools to
confirm accurate alignment.
Anchor the Connected Panels: Once you are satisfied with the alignment, anchor the
connected panels securely to the concrete slab. Use anchor bolts, epoxy adhesive, or
other appropriate fastening methods to secure the panels in place. Anchoring the corner
or "U" shape provides a stable base from which you can work on connecting the
remaining panels.
Connect Adjacent Panels: With the corner or "U" shape securely anchored, continue
connecting the adjacent panels one by one. Ensure each panel is aligned correctly and
securely connected to the existing structure.
Check Alignment Regularly: As you add more panels, regularly check the alignment,
plumbness, and leveling of the entire structure. Make any necessary adjustments to
maintain accuracy.
