EP2: Simplify mixed-material exteriors in any climate with PermaBASE CI

Specifying continuous insulation has become common as communities adopt more current versions of the International Energy Conservation Code. At the same time, current exterior design trends for commercial, multifamily and mixed-use retail/residential favor mixed-material facades which break up storefronts and lend a scaled down neighborhood feel. Combining veneers — thin brick, thin stone, stucco and tile, to name a few — empowers architects and builders to create unique exteriors.

 

In this episode, Eddie Neel, market manager for PermaBASE® Building Products, talks to Chris Whitmire, director of product marketing at National Gypsum Company, about how PermaBASE CI® Insulated Cement Board provides a simple solution to both challenges. 

Listeners will learn:

• What continuous insulation is and how it can help meet energy code requirements
• How PermaBASE CI is constructed and how it simplifies the installation of mixed material exteriors that also meet energy code requirements
