Hard to imagine a scenario where plywood walls would do anything. Useless in a tornado or home invader scenario.
@jeffisaliar Ай бұрын
That is not entirely true. FEMA has a blueprint for a wood room is meant to stand up to tornadoes and it uses plywood except you have to use two sheets and one sheet has to be perpendicular to the other and then you you sheet metal over it as well. It definitely beats most interior rooms which is just 1/2" sheetrock on studs.
@legacyclassichomes5774 Ай бұрын
Thank you @jeffisaliar. Great reply. @brandonmills3168, using plywood that is tied into the framing with studs bolted to the slab and two 1/2" pieces of sheetrock on both sides is significantly more secure than a standard sheetrock wall. This was just meant as additional reinforcement in the case of bad storms or something like an F1 tornado. It will go a long way to help prevent fly debris from going through the walls or ceiling versus a standard sheetrock wall. It is definitely not meant to act as a home invasion safe room.

I'm confused. Fiberglass is used most for its high strength to weight ratio. That's why it's used on race cars, airplanes, wind turbines, scuba tanks, etc. In a shower weight doesn't matter, so why not some other waterproof durable material like truck bed liner spray for example?
@legacyclassichomes5774 Ай бұрын
The PVC liner often used is just fine, until someone cuts it or puts a nail through it. I had an upstairs shower one time that was too big for one liner, so the plumbers joined two of them, and of course it leaked. I went looking for a more durable material for 2nd floor showers and this was recommended by a plumber. This is a continuous membrane that is thick and molded perfectly to the shower walls and pan, and in my opinion is going to be much less prone to leaking. You cannot easily cut through it the way you can with a PVC liner.

How do you deal with condensation when using open cell spray foam under the roof? Is that not causing a problem? Would closed cell spray foam be better?
@legacyclassichomes5774 2 ай бұрын
We condition the attic space and use whole house dehumidifiers. Closed cell against rooflines but can have it's own issues because what the fact that water will not permeate through it, if you do have a roof leak you will never see the leak, the water will collect against the top of the foam and bottom of the decking, and the decking will rot. This is not an issue with steel buildings, and in those applications closed cell is commonly used and makes sense. Climate zones make a big difference with open cell applications also where colder zones can experience more condensation issues. While moisture concerns with open cell spray foam exist, there is insufficient evidence to conclude that it has caused substantial roof decking damage in North Texas specifically.

Zip sheeting is not exterior plywood, it is OSB material with a coating on it, which gives it a very low perm rating, which means it will not let moisture through it, so basically your walls can't breathe like a plywood house with a house wrap applied to it. It might work for a while or you might have problems down the road with this house like the houses that used to get built with Dryvit applied to the stucco( no way to dry out from the inside) and the walls rotted.

@legacyclassichomes5774 2 ай бұрын
I am aware Zip is an OSB. Since the average person watching doesn't know the term OSB, using that term will cause confusion so I used the generic term people understand. Also, you are incorrect about zip sheathing. It is one way permeable, and that one way is from inside out, so it will allow transfer of vapor/moisture go from inside out exactly the way stand alone house wrap does. Ultimately it is just OSB with a one way permeable house wrap laminated to it. The project also has a rainscreen product between the zip and lath which prevents the moisture from getting trapped between the stucco and zip and therefore prevents rotting.
@legacyclassichomes5774 2 ай бұрын
@@ryanmccluan7467 Every type of exterior facade can allow water/moisture to get behind it. This is a problem as old as house building. The goal is to allow the water to get out and/or dry. That is why you will see weep holes on the bottom of a house's brick wall. There have probably been as many issues with water getting behind brick walls as stucco over the years.

Spray foam insulation is about the worst insulation for healthy home environment. It offers gases toxic chemicals for years and can cause huge mold issues if you get water between the sheathing and foam because you’ll never see the leak. Still don’t understand why the builders are so ignorant.
@legacyclassichomes5774 3 ай бұрын
This is not true. Open cell spray foam stops off gassing completely within 24 hours after it’s sprayed. Look up the actual data on the product. Open cell foam is permeable so you can see evidence of leaks when they happen because it will be wet. Certainly if a leak is never fixed then mold can occur, but that can be the case with any type of insulated wall that is constantly leaking. Closed cell is not permeable and will keep water from going through it, which can be thought of as an advantage over open cell phone, but it also means you never see the leak and it can rot the sheathing or roof decking it is sprayed to. Our encapsulation packages are open cell foam. In my experience, every building product can have an advantage and a disadvantage and you have to know how to work with the products that you use. As a builder that has used open self spray foam for years, we have experienced roof and wall leaks, and we were able to locate the source of the leaks. Does it mean some foam had to be torn out? Sure, but it was simply re-sprayed once the leak was repaired.

1. I think spray foam is a bad idea. issue is if you ever need to do repairs or remodeling it becomes a nightmare. Also in a fire you get asphyxiated from the toxic smoke. Best option for wall cavities is Rockwool batts as they can easily be removed & offer the best for fire issues. The best bang for the buck for insulation is to install continuous rigid foam panels on the exterior side. I would recommend 2" (R-10). 2. The best option for Roofing is SIP Panels. as these will absolutely perform the best for thermal management. I don't recommend SIP for walls since you need to run utilities in walls. 3. Don't use Flex duct for HVAC. use metal duct, thin wall PVC pipe, or Kool Duct (kingpan). The issue with the flex is that it degrades and the thin plastic lining starts to split after about 10 to 15 years. Another issue with Flex Duct is that it can be easily constricted (kinked bends, or improper mounting). Kool Duct is the best option since it provides insulation properties, where as the metal duct may need exterior insulation to prevent condensation or thermal losses (depending on the situation its running through (ie uncondictioned area like a crawl, basement or attic space. PVC is easy to install & a great option for connecting rooms to the trunk like. I used Kool Duct for the trunk ducting & PVC for connecting Rooms to the trunk duct. 4. For windows the best bang for the buck are fiberglass windows. They don't rot, low thermal losses in the frame, less flimsy than vinyl, cost effective. The issue with the alum frame windows is alum. is a very good heat conductor & will have higher thermal losses. 5. For an energy efficient home, the better option are ducted minisplits. What you need to do is have a Manual J report done for your home to properly size your HVAC system. Oversize it slightly to accommodate heat output from applicances (refrig, dishwasher, dryer, etc). Having multiply Ducted minisplits will work the the best (one for each floor). I have a 4500sqft home & its cooled using two 13Kbtu ducted minisplits. In my experience humidity isn't a problem in a tight home. I live in a subtropical zone (7b) , & the humidity is always low, usually in the low 30% range. The minisplits do too well of a job pulling humidity out & I have to run a humidifer a bit year round. 6. The issue with tankless water heaters is short cycling. Modern appliances like washers & dishwashers now have intermittent water draw. They'll pull some water, shutoff, than pull some more water & shutoff again. This causes excessive cycling of the tankless boiler which not only prevents hot water from reaching your applicances but will also but a lot of wear on your system. I would recommend a boiler that has at least a small tank, or you add a small tank water heater to serve your kitchen & washing machine. For the tankless system, you need to install plumbing to allow you to flush your system. This will require shutoff ball valves on the input (Cold side) and the output (hot side) with valved ports that you can use to hook up hose lines & a pump. You run in de-scaling agent using a 5 gallon bucket to flush out the scale. You want this so its easy to do flushing. 7. Issue with hot water cycling system is they can waste a lot of energy, and with a tankless your system will be cycling on\off all the time. Realistically waiting for a minute for hot water isn't a big deal. Make sure all of your water lines are insulated especially if you use a hot water cycling system!
