We are using a Dryvit system in Augusta, Ga. I have located attachment paterns with Winlock fasteners in your e-lit, however it only gives details for EPS up to 2". As you will see in the next paragraph, we are using thicker EPS with Hilti fasteners. Please provide a recommended pattern as such. The design wind speed at this building is 100 mph. The worst case wall component and cladding wind pressure (10 ft2 area) is 25 psf. The assembly is as follows: 18" cast in place concrete wall, Tremco 250 Water proofing cured (60mils - self sealing), Mechanically fasten EPS with Hilti X-IE Insulation Fastener 4” 6-100 PH 52 No. 376475. Complete the Dryvit (hole patch, base cait, finish, etc.) per manufature's recommendations.
What type of water-resistive barrier is best for use with Outsulation systems?
What is the maximum EPS thickness allowed with Dryvit Outsulation systems?
How is a Drainage Strip installed in an area with a membrane roof without doing any perforations?
What is a moisture drainage system?
What is the minimum EPS thickness allowed with Outsulation systems?
