Royal Blue Gray Siding Renovation
A beautiful new exterior combined with an energy efficient wall assembly - that sounds like a win!
The wonderful homeowners on this exciting project were planning to replace their windows as well as their siding, and wanted to add exterior insulation as part of the project. Working with them, we were able to advise their window company of the appropriate build out for the new windows (more on that here, if you’re interested). Doing so allowed us to install a 1.625” (R7.6) Enerspan insulation over top of the original stucco with minimal extra detailing to accommodate all of that extra depth being added.
Because we were installing that layer of insulation over a layer of stucco, we needed to add wood strapping for secure attachment of the siding. Pressure treated wood was fastened over a continuous layer of the insulation, through the existing stucco, and into the existing framing with structural screws. Then we installed the new siding - in gorgeous Blue Gray from Royal on the strapping.
A Royal White board and batten accent looks great with the new bay window, and everything tied in perfectly with the original masonry. The new exterior is energy efficient, beautiful, and built for the long term.
