Abstract
A laminated construction board comprising a kraft board support backing adhesively bonded to a foam insulating panel is disclosed. Also shown is an improved method for attaching laminated construction boards with fasteners. The fasteners are driven through the foam panel, until the retaining portion thereof engages the support backing, securing it in abutting relationship with an underlying wall substructure. The insulated surface of the board may be covered with various surface finishes, and is especially suited for use with acrylic mortar systems.
Also disclosed is a building structure, a method of constructing a building structure, a wall surfacing system, and a method of constructing a wall sheathing, all utilizing construction boards attached to a substructure with staples wherein the crown of the staple engages the support backing of the construction board.
