Celotex Under Siding

Before i answer this question let me give you a little background on vinyl siding installation in our area.

Celotex under siding.

Asbestos is a heat resistant mineral that was added to many celotex products to make them fireproof. Since i am doing this predominantly myself i of course have to be cognizant of the weather while things are exposed. Thousands of houses in my area built like that when i started in 1970 we used i sheet of ply in the corners and the rest was celotex now they are using 1 sheet of 1 2 osb in the corners and 1 2 foam board on the rest vinyl siding on that i don t know why we bothere with locks as anyone could go right thru any wall in 10 minutes with a hammer. Also i was thinking of house wrapping this before siding just to seal it up a little better.

Is the rigid foam board under vinyl siding really insulating your home. The problem is i don t have the budget for vinyl siding and sheeting. My house has the black celotex fiber board under the aluminum siding on the first story and plywood on the second. Celotex was founded in the early 1920s as a fiberboard insulation company.

I m going to be removing all of it and putting up new zip system sheathing and then new vinyl siding. At sheathing exterior product index we describe products used on building exterior walls roofs as a structural sheathing or as a nail base sheathing. At siding hardboard we discuss hardboard exterior building siding such as sold under the abatibi and boise cascade brands. As you know here in maryland temperatures can fluctuate a lot no matter what season it is.

The company grew throughout the 20th century and expanded its product line to include a variety of construction materials such as roofing shingles and siding. Can i remove the wood and side over celotex.
