Tabs and Highlights

These 1 Exam Prep Tabs are based on Study Guide for Commercial Carpentry, 2nd Edition.

Each Tabs sheet has five rows of tabs. Start with the first tab at the first row at the top of the page; proceed

down that row placing the tabs at the locations listed below. Place each tab in your book setting it down one

notch until you get to the bottom of a page. Then start back at the top again. After each Tab, under

"Reason/Highlight" is a brief explanation of the purpose of the tab, and/or items to highlight in the section.

Special Note to our Students: If you are a 1 Exam Prep student, here is how to really get the most from

these 1 Exam Prep Tabs. Follow the above instructions, but before placing the tab, find the tab's topic in the

outline of your appropriate module. Now locate and highlight several items listed in the outline just before

the topic, and just after. See how the topic fits in the outline and how it relates as a concept to the broader

concept spelled out in the outline. If you take a few minutes to do this, when you take the test key words in

the test questions will remind you of where the information is in the manual!

Thermal and Moisture 1 27203-13 Thermal and Moisture Protection

Protection

7 1.0.0 Safety Requirements for Insulation Projects: In

addition to working at elevations, the following

other potential hazards may be encountered on an

insulation project: 4 bullets.

1.2.0 Materials Handling: Safety data sheets

Many insulation and roofing materials contain

chemicals that may be hazardous if not handled

properly.

Insulation 10 2.0.0 Insulation and its Characteristics: A vapor

barrier is any material that prevents the passage of

water.

2.1.0 Determining R-value Requirements: Heat loss

can be significantly reduced by using insulation

sheathing.

12 Figure 2: Typical R-value identification



The term R-value refers to the resistance to

conductive heat flow through a material or gas. R-

value is expressed as: (equation).

13 Table 2: R-values of Common Materials

14 2.2.0 Flexible insulation: Flexible insulation is usually

manufactured from fiberglass in blanket form and

… in 15” or 23” widths.

In general, insulation must be installed where any

exterior surface … These are: 5 bullets.

15 Fiberglass batt insulation at a 3 ½ thickness may

be used on exterior walls between the studs.

2.3.0 Loose-Fill Insulation: In new construction, it is

usually blown or poured and spread over ceiling

joists in unheated attics.

The required number of bags or pounds … the

bag-label charts for the desired R-value.

2.4.0 Rigid or Semi-rigid Insulation: It is available in

widths up to 4’ and lengths up to 12’. Structural

insulating boards come in densities ranging from

15 to 31 pounds per square foot. Their primary

purpose is structural, while their secondary

purpose is insulation.

Nonstructural rigid foam board … is usually light

weight sheet or board made of fiberglass or

foamed plastic such as … expanded perlite.

Table 3: Recommended R-Values of Insulation

19 The most common rigid and semi rigid and semi-

rigid insulation types include the following:

-Rigid expanded polystyrene

- Rigid extruded polystyrene

- Rigid polyurethane and polyisocyanurate

- Semirigid Fiberglass



2.5.0 Reflective Insulation: usually consists of

multiple layers of aluminum foil bonded to inner

layers of aluminum foil bonded to inner layers of

various materials for strength. The number of

reflective surfaces determines its insulating value.

To be effective the metal foil must face an open

air space that is ¾” or more in depth.

20 2.6.0 Misc. Types of Insulation:

- Foamed-in-place

- Sprayed-in-place insulation

- Lightweight aggregate

22 3.1.0 Installing Flexible Insulation:

- Step 1:

sides, space them about 6” apart.

- Step 3:

23 3.2.0 Installing Loose-Fill Insulation

- Step 1:

- Step 2: Permanently install strike-off boards.

- Step 3:

26 Figure 18 – Leveling loose-fill insulation

3.3.0 Installing Rigid or Semi-Rigid Insulation:

Insulation is only applied around the perimeter of

the slab, anywhere from 24” to 36”from the edge

of the slab.

Figure 19 – Rigid insulation installed under a

concrete slab.

Moisture Control, 28 4.0.0 Moisture Control, Waterproofing, and

Waterproofing & Ventilation Ventilation

4.1.0 Moisture Control: Water vapor contained in air

can readily pass through most building materials

used for wall construction.

To prevent the concentration of this damaging

moisture, some precautions must be taken in

original design of structure: 4 bullets



Basements usually have the most trouble with

condensation in summer during humid weather.

29 To keep moisture from rising up into the basement,

6” of course gravel should be placed over the

compacted earth to provide drainage to the

perimeter drain before the slab is poured.

Figure 21: Effects of insulation and vapor barrier.

4.1.1 Interior Ventilation: One of the best ways to

reduce or eliminate the chances of moisture damage

in attics or in the space between the rafters and the

finished roof.

In insulated attics, baffles (blocking strips are used

to … vented areas.

24 The ventilation requirement for a gable roof is 1 sq.

ft. of free air ventilation for every 300 sq, ft. of

ceiling area.

4.1.2 Vapor Barriers: Vapor materials are any material

or substance that will not permit the passage of

water vapor or will do so only at an extremely low

rate. The permeability of a substance … The

measure of water vapor permeability is the perm.

4.1.3 Materials: Common vapor barrier materials include

asphalted … and polyethylene film.

Table 5: Perm Ratings of Various Vapor Retarder

Materials

31 Polyethylene film is applied over the studs and

ceiling joists after the insulation is installed.

The film should be overlapped 2” to 4” and sealed

with special mastic or tape.

4.1.4 Installation in Crawl Spaces: The ground under

a ventilated crawl space should be covered with a

vapor barrier ground cover to protect the

underside of the house from condensation.



The normal requirement is 1 sq. ft. of free air

ventilation for every 160 sq ft of crawl space area

when vapor barrier ground cover is used.

4.1.5 Installation in Slabs: Up to 80 percent of the

moisture entering a structure does so by migrating

from the ground beneath the structure.

Vapor barriers should be continuous under the

slab.

32 Figure 25: Vapor barrier installation for crawl

spaces.

Figure 27: Surface-mounted vapor barrier on a

slab.

4.1.6 Installation in Walls: Adjacent sheets of film are

overlapped 2” to 4” and are sealed with special

mastic or tape.

33 4.2.0 Waterproofing: The single most critical area for

waterproofing construction is the below-grade

foundation wall.

Figure 28: Applying waterproofing materials

Do not place backfill for 24 to 48 hours after

application.

4.2.1 Waterstops are thin sheets of rubber, plastic …

water through the joint. PVC water stops may be

used for installations in … and roofs.

34 4.2.4 Air Infiltration Control: In addition to

insulation, the exterior sheathing of a structure

should be covered to prevent wind … To achieve

maximum energy efficiency in a structure; air

infiltration must be strictly controlled.

The material is usually furnished in rolls in

various sizes from 18” wide 10’ wide and lengths

from 1000’ to 200”



Nails with large heads, nails, or screws with

plastic washers or 1”-wide staples may be used to

secure the wrap to wood … gypsum board.

35-36 House or building wrap is generally installed as

follows: - Step 1: Secure the wrap to the corner at 12” to 18”

intervals.

- Step 2: Secure the wrap vertically at 12” to 18”

intervals on each stud.

- Step 3: make sure that the bottom edge … 6” to

12”.

- Step 4

- Step 5
