Continuous Insulation
with PermaBASE CI
As building codes and building insulation requirements become
increasingly stringent, you can count on PermaBASE products
to help meet your substrate needs for Continuous Insulation (CI).
CI on the exterior envelope helps to eliminate air and moisture
leakage as well as reduce thermal bridging, or the heating/
cooling loss transmitted through steel studs. With PermaBASE
CI, designers and contractors have a simpler, faster method of
achieving continuous insulation. PermaBASE® Cement Board has
also been used for years to install the nal exterior nish over the
exterior insulation in applications including Z-furring channels,
batten strips and direct fastener applications. PermaBASE CI and
PermaBASE Cement Board can be used in all types of construction,
including commercial, residential and multi-family.
