What is the compressive strength of Owens Corning Codebord® add generic?
Tim writes from Kitchener, Ontario, Canada: “I am putting a metal siding on to the following wall assembly: 1/2 gwb 6″ steel stud 3″ sprayed poly-U 1″ codeboard In order to get the metal siding to stand proud of the masonry veneer wall below we need to install 3″ ‘Z’ girts over the Codebord® add generic. My question is: Is there enough compressive strength in the Codebord® add generic to allow for sufficient resistance against wind loading when the girt is fastened to the steel stud through the Codebord® add generic?” Answer: I can’t evaluate the overall strength of the system you are proposing but I can tell you the compressive strength of Owens Corning Codebord® add generic available in Canada is 20.
