Installation Procedure

  1. Grade with MicroTrac - scrape hardened ground - then till until soft and grade of insulation can be finished easily by raking

Materials

  • Exterior FRP Panels - Glasteel [1], FiberTech [2],
  • Exterior PVC beadboard
  • Vinyl paneling - [3]

Design Issues

The detail where house siding meets the ground is important:

  1. Splashing of rain - if there is exposed dirt - house will get splashed and dirty, or continued exposure to water at this detail will tend to rot the house if water-sensitive materials such as wood are used. Aesthetically - dirty collar around the bottom of a house is not aesthetic.
  2. Moisture prevention - do not create a cavity under the siding that traps humidity. See comment 1 at [4]
