New Uniform Crenedc Nomes For Fiberboord Sheothing

Two new generic names to describe insulation board sheathing products have been officially adopted by the Insulation Board Institute, according to Charles M. Gray, Manager.

The new names are .regular" and ttintermediate." Regular insulation board sheathing, often referred to formerly as ttstandard," is the lowest density of the insulation board sheathing group and has the highest insulating value. Intermediate, formerly referred to as "high strengthr" is a epecial purlrose medium density insulation board sheathing.

Gray explained that the new generic names for the insulation board sheathing products will be used in literature, advertising and publicity distributed by the Insula- tion Board Institute and its fifteen member companies.

Regular insulation board sheathing is available in %-indr and. 25/32-inch thicknesses. It is the most commonly used sheathing material in the light construction industry. Regular insulation board sheathing in tlre 25/32-inch thickness has an offcial IBI heat resistance rating of R 2.06, while %-inch regular sheathing is rated at R 1.32. Regular insulation board sheathing comes in 2x8, 4x8, and 4x9 ft. sizes. The 4x8 ft. panels in both \h and 25/32-inch thickness may be applied vertically without @rner bracing where approved by local codes; 2x8 ft. panels are applied horizontelly and require corner bracing.

Intermediate insulation board sheathing is available only in lk-inch thickness, and in 4x8 or 4x9 ft. sizes. Intermediate insula- tion board sheathingprovides greater rigidity than regular sheathing, and has the special advantage of being accepted by F.H.A. for use without let-in corner bracing except where required by local codes,

The third type of insulation board sheathing, which was given its generic name previously by the IBI group, is "nail-base." Nail-base insulation board sheathing has the highest density of the fiberboard sheathing group. While the insulating value of fiberboard nail-base sheathing is not as high as regular sheathing, its insulation value still exceeds that of other commonly used sheathing products, like lumber and g1rysum sheathing.

The key advantage of nail-base insulation board sheathing is that wood and asbestos cement shingles may be nailed directly to the sheathing, saving up to $40 per house
