What Are the Differences Between SDG™, DURASHEDSKIRT™ and DURASKIRT™?
Answer:
SDG™ is specifically sold for covering insulation. Although it is somewhat the same as DURASKIRT™ or DURASHEDSKIRT™ the installation methods differ drastically. For this reason, we have made it distinct in its name. Additionally, we have plans to offer concrete screws in various links. We will make the screws available as we source them.
DURASKIRT™ PRO Seriespanels are specifically designed for the manufactured home industry. Thus, their attachment methods and accessories are different. Moreover, the geotech fabric set into these panels make them backfill ready. Also, they require engineering.
DURASHEDSKIRT™ is unique as well. Mainly, it does not include the geotech fabric. Another difference is the venting is not included, and the joist fasteners are an additional cost. The reason for this is that many customers are placing the panels on the outside of their sheds using a 3/4″ drip flashing and cutting in their own vents. Moreover, in the future we will be selling a cut in vent. And, as a side note, this panel works great for post and pier installations.
Q: Can DURASKIRT™, DURASHEDSKIRT™ or SDG™ be painted?
Answer: The DURASKIRT™, DURASHEDSKIRT™ or SDG™ is concrete, therefore we recommend using exterior concrete paint or solid color stain. Moreover, we recommend following all your paint manufacturer’s recommendations. Of course, making certain the paint or solid color stain is for painting exterior concrete.
Side Note: Follow surface prep procedures carefully.
The ASTM E84 test assesses the surface burning characteristics of building materials, providing a Flame Spread Index and Smoke Developed Index to indicate how the material might contribute to flame spread in the event of a fire. It is a crucial standard for ensuring materials meet safety requirements for construction and building finishes.
Protecting 2″ or 3″ of rigid foam on the exterior of basement foundation walls can be a challenging. So, what product are people using to protect the foam below grade to the mud sill? Details often call out “Protective board”? This is why DURASKIRT has developed a product called SDG. Most importantly, SDG keeps the site-built look that looks familiar and proven to last.
