Core TradesCâu 111 / 700
Continuous insulation (ci) is applied on the exterior side of the wall sheathing, over the studs, MAINLY to:
a.Replace the need for cavity insulation entirely
b.Reduce thermal bridging through the framing so the whole wall performs better
c.Serve as the water-resistive barrier
d.Add shear strength to the wall
Giải thích
Continuous insulation covers the framing without interruption, reducing thermal bridging where studs would otherwise conduct heat, improving the whole-wall R-value. It supplements (not always replaces) cavity insulation, is not itself the water barrier, and does not provide shear strength.
