This year, Connecticut adopted the 2021 IECC code changes mandating continuous external insulation. They did this with very little warning, and it left a lot of builders surprised and scrambling to either change their designs/order new products/figure out compliance, or even worse, left them scrambling to apply for exceptions (a process no builder wants to go through).
If you’re building now, whether you’re in a state that has already adopted the code changes or one that may in the future, we recommend not being caught flat-footed. Integrate continuous external insulation into your plans now, familiarize yourself with the product landscape and installation details, develop a working relationship with a supplier, and rest easy knowing that whether the changes are formally adopted or not, you will be in compliance. Here at TBS, we have years of experience working with customers who want or need to integrate continuous external insulation into their building lifecycle. With us, the change isn't daunting- it's easy. Feel free to reach out to our team today or visit www.thermalbuildingsupply.com for more information.
