Energy Shield Plus General Installation Instructions
Atlas recommends and supports the WarmWall System. The WarmWall System covers all framing members 100%, including the corners, with Atlas Insulating Sheathings. WarmWall is a way to wrap your entire house with a high thermal insulating sheathing, reducing heating and cooling loss in all wall locations, not just the stud cavities. When using Atlas Insulating Sheathings on your home, you can meet or exceed the Model Energy Code for your area and also greatly reduce the potential for condensation problems.
Use code accepted shear or corner bracing, such as 1x4 let-in or steel strapping. Energy Shield, Energy Shield Plus and Rboard insulating sheathing should be placed with the longest edge in a vertical position with edges on stud centers. Stud wall spacing of 16" o.c. does not require horizontal support; however, 24" o.c. stud spacing should have a horizontal 2" x 4" at mid-height for internal support. Nailing should be done with 3/8" diameter head galvanized roofing nails long enough to penetrate the wood stud at least 3/4". Sixteen gauge wire staples having a crown minimum of 3/4" wide and legs long enough to penetrate the framing at least 1/2" may also be used. Staple crowns should be parallel with the longest edge of the Energy Shield, Energy Shield Plus and Rboard. Do not allow the nail head or staple crown to penetrate the sheathing surface. Fasteners should be placed no closer than 3/8" to the perimeter edges of Energy Shield, Energy Shield Plus and Rboard, spaced 12" o.c. around the perimeters (including top plate and sole plate), and spaced 12" o.c. in the field of the board. When nailing siding materials over Energy Shield, Energy Shield Plus and Rboard, care should be taken to avoid crushing the sheathing.
