Installation on Space Sheathing
Ventilation: the right way
– Proper ventilation is essential:
– For shingling roofs or walls, proper ventilation is essential for
durability, quality and longevity.
– Proper ventilation reduces moisture considerably.
– Proper ventilation with lath sheathing results in significant savings in
energy costs.
– Always install shingles over spaced sheathing, using 3 cm x 10 cm (1 in.
x 4 in.) laths.
– Shingle exposure should not be more than 15 cm (6 in.).
– Installing a mesh screen is necessary to prevent insects from getting in
through ventilation space on corners, edges or walls.
– Lath sheathing should be nailed in a staggered pattern: 4 nails to form
a square and 1 nail in the middle.
