The membrane protects cement board fasteners from moisture held within the veneer and thinset mortar.
#Veeer frame crack
It is important to remember that use of a crack isolation membrane does not reduce or replace the need for appropriately designed and installed movement joints. The veneer adheres to the membrane, which allows the cement backer board to move relatively independently of the veneer.

The crack isolation membrane is applied following installation of the cement backer board and treatment of the board joints as required by the cement backer board manufacturer. The vertical spacing options are 24-, 36-, and 48-inches, and the exterior insulation thickness ranges from 2- to 4-inches.Ī crack isolation membrane is a flexible fluid-applied membrane used in thin masonry veneer applications where the veneer is adhered to a cement backer board. The horizontal clip spacing remained at 16-inches on-center. In the structural design graphs, the cladding weight was set at 20 psf. These structural values provide a schematic relationship between thermal and structural performance and are not intended to be used as structural design values.
#Veeer frame code
The allowable wind pressure should always be compared to the specified wind pressure acting on the cladding, as determined by the local building code in the applicable jurisdiction. The allowable screw loads are based on testing data and are specific to the type of screw modeled. The design is generally limited by the pullout resistance of the upper screw through the clip, which is under tension from the weight of the cladding and from horizontal wind suction pressures. The clips resist vertical gravity loads equally and receive horizontal loads based on their tributary areas. These results assume fiberglass cladding support clips with two stainless-steel screws spaced at 3-inches vertically and attached into steel framing.

7-15 System e ective R-value as it compares to maximum-allowable wind loads for various fiberglass stando clip spacings. Class III vapor permeance properties when carefully evaluated against other system material properties and the thermal control layer.įig.As a result, a separate vapor retarder membrane (as shown typical on page 1 of this chapter at the interior side of the framing) may be omitted. For this case, the air barrier and WRB system will also function as the vapor control layer. Class I and II vapor permeance properties when at least 1⁄ 2 to 2⁄ 3 the total nominal insulation R-value of the wall system is placed exterior of the air barrier and WRB system.

Class IV vapor permeance properties regardless of the insulation R-value placed within the wall cavity relative to the insulation placed exterior of the air barrier and WRB system.The air barrier and WRB system for this wall system may have: An example of a fluid-applied air barrier and WRB system field membrane is shown in Fig. Either a self-adhered sheet or fluid-applied system is depicted in the details at the end of this chapter. In this wall system, the WRB system is typically a self-adhered sheet or fluid-applied system that also functions as the air barrier system thus, the WRB system is often referred to as the air barrier and WRB system.
