methods for attaching furred walls to various substrate conditions. The furred wall should

be comprised of minimum ½” thick vertical PVC furring strips sized and spaced per your

engineer and/or architect’s requirements and sheathed with minimum 7/16” thick kiln

dried pressure treated plywood (KDAT). Only a water-resistive barrier complying with

ASTM E2556 Type I or Type II should be used; Typar, or commercial grade Tyvek or equal

is recommended. Rainwater

management is important in all wall assemblies. One of the

keys to rainwater management is correct installation of water-resistive barriers. Water-

resistive barrier continuity with windows, doors, roof-wall interfaces, flashings, and service

penetrations is necessary. Reference
