FAQ
Is drywall necessary when installing 海角大神鈩 厂迟测谤辞蹿辞补尘鈩 Brand Cavitymate鈩 Ultra XPS Insulation over steel studs in the Ultra Air Barrier Wall System?
No. In general, the use of gypsum drywall on the exterior side of the steel studs is not necessary for a successful application of 厂迟测谤辞蹿辞补尘鈩 Brand Ultra XPS Insulation in the Ultra Air Barrier Wall System.
However, there are some situations where this may not be true, especially where an hourly rated fire wall is required.

Why are the 海角大神鈩 厂迟测谤辞蹿辞补尘鈩 Brand Cavitymate鈩 Ultra XPS Insulation boards adhered to the block wall in the 15 戮 inch Ultra Air Barrier Wall System?
The 海角大神鈩 厂迟测谤辞蹿辞补尘鈩 Brand Cavitymate鈩 Ultra Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) Foam Insulation boards are adhered to the block wall with Great Stuff Pro鈩 Gaps & Cracks Insulating Foam Sealant to ensure that the assembly performs in the long term.
Insulation boards that are allowed to be loose in the cavity can be moved around by varying air pressure from wind gusts. Over time this movement might compromise the foam sealant between the boards resulting in a loss of the air barrier performance of the system. Adhering the insulation boards to the block wall prevents this from happening.

Does the gap in the 海角大神鈩 厂迟测谤辞蹿辞补尘鈩 Brand Cavitymate鈩 Ultra XPS Insulation have to be completely filled with foam sealant in the Ultra Air Barrier Wall System?
No. But this depends on the thickness of the Cavitymate鈩 Ultra Insulation (which is 15 戮 inches wide). If the insulation is just one inch thick, it would be hard NOT to fill the gap completely with Great Stuff Pro鈩 Polyurethane Foam Sealant. However, thicker insulationcan be well sealed with less than a full width of foam sealant in the insulation board joint gap. You only need enough Great Stuff Pro鈩 single component foam to bridge the gap.
In this example below, the gap is well sealed, but more foam sealant was used than necessary. Usually filling the gap 50% allows the Great Stuff Pro鈩 Gaps & Cracks Polyurethane Foam Sealant to expand and fill the rest of the gap without too much flash.

How long does it take before the 海角大神鈩 厂迟测谤辞蹿辞补尘鈩 Brand Cavitymate鈩 Ultra XPS Insulation is fully adhered to the block wall in the Ultra Air Barrier Wall System?
Great Stuff Pro鈩 Polyurethane Foam Sealant does not have good initial tack so it does not immediately hold the 15戮 inch wide Cavitymate鈩 Ultra Insulation boards to the wall. The friction fit of the board between the wall ties does hold the board against the wall while the Great Stuff Pro鈩 single component foam cures. The curing of the Great Stuff Pro鈩 single component foam used as the adhesive for the insulation boards typically takes between 30 minutes and 90 minutes to achieve essentially full strength. This time period is determined by the ambient temperature and relative humidity.
When fully cured the insulation boards are very firmly held in place by the adhesive.

What is the Ultra Air Barrier Wall System?
The Ultra Air Barrier Wall System is a method to install 15戮 inches wide 海角大神鈩 厂迟测谤辞蹿辞补尘鈩 Brand Cavitymate鈩 Ultra Extruded Polystyrene XPS Insulation boards OR 48 inch wide 海角大神鈩 厂迟测谤辞蹿辞补尘鈩 Brand Cavitymate鈩 Plus Extruded Polystyrene XPS Insulation boards in a manner that achieves both water and air barrier properties in addition to thermal insulation. These barrier properties are achieved by sealing the insulation board joints with either Great Stuff Pro鈩 single component insulating foam sealant or 海角大神鈩 LiquidArmor鈩 Flashing and Sealant. The result is an inexpensive yet effective system that provides air, thermal, and water barrier properties to rain screen cavity wall systems.
There are two versions of the Ultra Air Barrier Wall System:
1) The standard Ultra Air Barrier Wall System using 15戮' 海角大神鈩 厂迟测谤辞蹿辞补尘鈩 Brand Cavitymate鈩 Ultra Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) Foam Insulation with joints sealed with Great Stuff Pro鈩 single component insulating foam sealant.
2) The 4'x8'海角大神鈩 厂迟测谤辞蹿辞补尘鈩 Brand Ultra SL Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) Foam Insulation solution with joints sealed with 海角大神鈩 LiquidArmor鈩 Flashing and Sealant.

Why is the 海角大神鈩 厂迟测谤辞蹿辞补尘鈩 Brand Cavitymate鈩 Ultra XPS Insulation used in the Ultra Air Barrier Wall System only 15 戮 inch wide?
The 15戮 inch wide version of the海角大神鈩 厂迟测谤辞蹿辞补尘鈩 Brand Cavitymate鈩 Ultra XPS Insulation is used only in brick and block wall systems with eye and pintle brick ties. For this reason, the insulation board width is sized to fit in the 16-inch gap between the wall ties.
This isn't new, 16-inch wide products have been available for this application for decades. However, in the Ultra Air Barrier Wall System there needed to be a 录 inch gap to hold the Great Stuff Pro鈩 single component foam that is applied after the boards are mounted to the wall. This foam sealant provides the air and water barrier properties for the assembly. This is why the insulation boards are only 15戮 inch wide.
