Osb On Concrete Wall
You may use a sheet rated for a 24 inch span when studs are spaced 16 inches.
Osb on concrete wall. Osb panels for exterior walls. If the inside finished ceiling height will be 8 feet you can hang 9 foot osb panels vertically on. Half way through the pour the osb let go and he had concrete everywhere. The panels can be installed directly onto the concrete slab over sleepers which are installed onto the concrete slab or over rigid foam insulation.
Concrete cures this way for many years it almost continually is drying out. He then got the osb back in place used his truck for side support and continued the pour. Mark the concrete block walls at 16 inches on center to indicate where the furring strips will be attached. The wood sill should be pressure treated to resist decay.
Construction is 2x6 wall 7 16 osb 2 inch eps foam high perm house wrap 3 4 rain screen and siding. On top of a foundation wall there is a barrier in cold climates that s a thin foam called sill seal that separates the concrete from the wood sill. He used osb and 2x4 s to pour a wall 14 long 26 high 12 thick. Currently exterior walls are up with a standard foam sill plate gasket and the 7 16 osb.
Placing the furring strips every 16 inches guarantees the 4 foot wide plywood will always be supported on both edges and twice between them. Osb structural wood panels can be installed over concrete slab floors for both commercial and residential applications. Drainage plane for the house wrap is right at the edge of the. I am wondering if the osb in direct contact with the concrete foundation wall will be an issue when the whole wall is completed.
But it is especially a concern for fresh concrete. There is only one spot in the 14 span where the thickness is 12.
