Energy codes have quietly rewritten the exterior wall. What used to be a simple assembly of studs, sheathing, and cladding now has to carry one to four inches of continuous rigid insulation on the outboard side of the framing. That layer solves a real thermal problem,...
In today’s construction environment, standard framing components are often pushed beyond what they were originally intended to do. Taller buildings, tighter tolerances, increased code requirements, and more complex architectural designs demand solutions that go beyond...
In the evolving landscape of construction, energy efficiency and sustainability have become paramount. As building codes tighten and the demand for greener solutions rises, The Steel Network's ThermaFast Rigid Insulation System stands out as a game-changer. This...
Introduction to Continuous Insulation Continuous insulation is the concept of using specialized products to improve the thermal containment of buildings, which helps them meet energy codes. Standards exist for both residential and commercial buildings, and it would...
