Exterior walls
The faced side of the board should be installed toward the interior side of the structure, except in some warm and humid areas where local practice and/or building codes may require a vapor retarder to be outside the heating or building envelope.

CertaPro Commercial Board is applied to spandrel and pre-cast concrete panels with approved adhesives or mechanical fasteners. Follow the fastener manufacturer’s recommendations for pin terminations and safety considerations. Boards may also be installed using hat channels or Z studs.

For applications involving low perm (< 1.0) exterior finishes, consideration should be given to taping or sealing all seams, joints and penetrations or for providing a separate continuous vapor retarder system. Consult your architect for specific vapor retarder requirements.

These installation recommendations are general in nature. Other methods are acceptable. Please consult local building codes for recommendations best suited to the application.

In as much as CertainTeed has no control over the installation design, installation workmanship, accessory materials, or conditions of application, CertainTeed does not warrant the performance or results of any installation containing its products.

CertainTeed insulation products improve building energy efficiency and reduce building energy consumption for the life of the structure. As a result, they help conserve nonrenewable energy sources, decrease dependence on foreign oil and lower greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the recycled content of CertainTeed fiber glass insulation is currently 30-35% and exceeds the EPA Recovered Material Guideline for fiber glass products, consisting of pre-consumer and post-consumer glass cullet.

Most CertainTeed fiber glass insulation products have been certified by the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute and meet the GREENGUARD standards for low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions, including formaldehyde.
