Furring Strips Installation
A building professional should be consulted regarding vapor barriers and insulation for your project.
Where a vapor barrier is to be used, it should be a breathable type and must be positioned behind the
furring strips. The furring strip needs to have a minimum thickness of 1" (25mm).
Wood furring strips should be xed into position at a maximum of 16" (406mm) centers using a suitable
A4 Stainless Steel Countersunk Wood/Masonry screw. All furring strips need to be flat and leveled
against the wall surface use shims if necessary.
