3 EXECUTION

3.1 EXAMINATION

3.1.1 Examine and measure installation areas prepared to receive insulated sheathing to confirm conditions are within the manufacturer's limits.

3.1.2 Do not begin installation until substrates have been properly prepared.

3.1.3 If substrate preparation is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect of unsatisfactory preparation before proceeding.

3.2 PREPARATION

3.2.1 Verify surrounding construction, dimensions, and other conditions which would affect installation.

3.2.2 Prepare surfaces using the methods recommended by the manufacturer for achieving the best result for the substrate under the project conditions.

3.3 INSTALLATION

3.3.1 Install in accordance with the manufacturer's current published instructions, and details and drawings issued for the project.

3.3.1.1 Conflicts between the manufacturer instructions and project documents shall be resolved in writing prior to installation.

3.3.2 Arrange to minimize joints and cutouts to fit tightly against adjacent construction.

3.3.2.1 Solid framing or blocking is required behind all panel edges.

3.3.2.2 Vertical joints must be located over and supported by framing members or structural components acceptable to the project engineer.

3.3.2.3 Butt joints wider than 1/8 inch (3mm) will not be accepted.

3.3.3 Install required strapping, specified for wind uplift, directly to the framing, before sheathing is installed.

3.3.4 Install a bead of adhesive to studs, place polystyrene foam directly against the framing.
