40 <br /> J <br /> 12.4 Siding <br /> In a climate with heavy wind driven rain conditions, a drainage plane such as DupontTM Tyvek <br /> DrainWrapTM can be attached with stainless steel staples directly against Faswall®Wallforms, <br /> followed by 2 inch wide furring strips which can be fastened directly onto the Faswall® <br /> Wallforms middle webbing with 2 ''A inch self tapping screws (zinc, galvanized, stainless steel, <br /> or ceramic coated). Lap siding, or board and batten siding using sheets of fiber cement board <br /> can then be installed directly against the furring strips and air gun nailed or screwed. In this <br /> protocol an air gap is created which allows any wall-penetrating moisture to quickly drain. <br /> Unless exposed to severe weather conditions, the furring strips can be eliminated from this <br /> protocol. <br /> 12.4.1 Wood siding. <br /> For wood siding applications it is recommended to install a rain screen directly on the Wallforms <br /> and utilize furring strips to create an air gap between the back of the siding and the wall of the <br /> building. This ensures that condensation will not build behind the siding and cause decay in the <br /> siding (Faswall will be unaffected). <br /> 12.4.2 Fiber-Cement Siding <br /> With Fiber Cement siding products, it is recommended to use a felt building paper or a stucco <br /> house wrap as a drainage plane. Whether installing furring strips or not with these products it is <br /> suggested that a draining house wrap product like Tyvek DrainWrapTM is used to allow for <br /> moisture to escape if the siding is compromised by driven rain. An alternative to building paper <br /> or house wrap products is to parge coat the outside of the wall, apply furring strips, then hang <br /> the siding. <br /> ShelterWorks General Application and Technical Information(GATT)version 2.5 <br />
