Months of construction delays and challenges solved with ArmorWall Structural Insulated Sheathing

In Fall of 2018, construction began on the first of two new medical office buildings to support the healthcare needs of the growing local community in Boiling Springs, SC. The first building was constructed using a common wall assembly that included gypsum sheathing, a spray applied air barrier, mineral wool insulation and other systems commonly used in metal stud buildings. Unfortunately, a rainy season led to months of construction delays and challenges installing the building enclosure system.

When construction began in 2019 on a similar building, the project team was ready and willing to try a new building enclosure system. Fortunately, Beau Preston of Carolina Rainscreen and Envelope Professionals, had been in touch with the project team and introduced them to ArmorWall Structural Insulated Sheathing. When they realized the immense time and cost savings available by switching to ArmorWall, they made the change. Only a few weeks later, 15,000 SF of 2” ArmorWall Vapor Permeable (VP) arrived from the manufacturing plant, less than two hours away. Following a short and simple training with the installer, the building enclosure system was installed in just three and a half weeks- an amazing six weeks ahead of schedule! Installation of ArmorWall is faster than other materials and can be performed in all weather conditions. Specifying ArmorWall allowed the project team to reduce the negative impacts of poor weather and save both time and money due to less labor, equipment, and inspections on the job.

" Time is always the most important factor when trying to open new buildings. ArmorWall reduced the time it took to complete the exterior walls by half compared to our last project. "

Project Coordinator

" Time and money are my biggest factors. We were surprised and happy to return our equipment two months early. That saved us a lot of money. "

Josh Vassey, Project Manager, Spectrum Interiors

" On 15,000 square feet of walls, we saved six weeks and two inspections for this job. "

Damon Ivey, Superintendent, Spectrum Interiors

" Midway through construction, we offered to provide material in order to prove our ability to handle radius walls. Spectrum Interiors proved it was both feasible and a highly effective solution for ArmorWall. "
