Side Wall
This application utilizes the properties of both
mass insulation and TempShield™ giving
a superior system R-value of R-19.56. This application
consists of TempShield™ Insulation, mass insulation and rigid board. This assembly was
developed to meet building codes while keeping framing costs
down.
R18.1 (3.19 RSI)
This application utilizes the properties of both mass
insulation and TempShield™ giving a superior
system R-value of R-18.1 (3.19 RSI). This assembly was

Installation
- With a conventional 2" x 4" wall, use an
R-12 (2.1 RSI) friction fit fiberglass batt and
exterior 1/2" rigid board. Nail 1" x 2"
furring strips across the studs every 16".
- Staple TempShield™ Insulation to the furring strips using 5/16"
staples. Tape all seams using Foil Tape.
- Nail a second set of 1" x 2" furring strips
directly over the first set of furring strips
using three #10 wood screws.
- Apply sheet rock to the furring strips using
sheet rock screws.
- In this application, TempShield™
becomes both the vapor retarder as well as an
insulator.
- A helpful hint…Use shallow electric boxes and
install them in the last set of furring strips,
then the vapor retarder will remain intact.

Application Using TempShield™ Staple Tab
Many U.S. contractors utilize
TempShield™ Staple Tab Insulation in a 2" x 6" side wall cavity
to avoid the application expense and labor of using furring
strips. Roll widths are 16" and 24" on center for
convenience and 48" rolls are also available.
