Abstract
There is disclosed a furring strip system wherein furring strips are pre-attached to at least one side of a water resistive barrier (WRB—sometimes referred to as “Housewrap”) to promote drainage and drying between the exterior siding or cladding and the underlying wall construction. The furring strips themselves may be ventilated vertically through a series of abutting internal cavities extending across its width or vertical ridges. The furring strip system is installed on a structure simultaneously with the WRB, and before the exterior cladding or siding is installed to enhance drainage and drying of that area thus helping to eliminate the problems associated with water accumulation, such as deterioration of the underlying components, microbial growth, mold and related problems to the structure and its inhabitants.
Description
- The present invention relates to exterior walls of building structures, primarily residential structures, wherein specific measures have been taken to ensure that the wall area between the exterior siding and the sheathing therebeneath can be dry and free of water buildup.
- We are all aware of the damage that water penetration can cause including structural rotting, mildew formation, mold or mold spores may penetrate into the interior of a structure and can cause adverse health consequences for the occupants.
- The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for ensuring that water entrapped between a structure's sheathing and its exterior cladding or siding is eliminated by means of drainage and drying of the area therebetween. This is accomplished through the use of a conventional water resistive barrier (WRB—also sometimes referred to as “Housewrap”) with furring strips attached to at least one side of the WRB. By using a furring strip on each side of the WRB, the distance between the sheathing and the siding or cladding is doubled to approximately 6-8 mm. The furring strips are placed approximately eight inches apart with the passages extending parallel to their vertical orientation, thus promoting draining and drying which helps prevent the accumulation of water between the sheathing and cladding.
- A recent search of the Patent Office files in the appropriate Class and subclasses revealed the following prior art:
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,938,383—issued to Richard J. Morris et al on Sep. 6, 2005—discloses a vented furring strip that is used to ventilate the area between the sheathing of a residence and the exterior siding or cladding and eliminate any moisture or water from therebetween. The elongate furring strips are installed as separate pieces on the first layer of a wall and covered with an exterior siding. The furring strips space the siding apart from the sheathing, forming a plurality of enclosed cavities or air spaces. The cavities are in fluid communication with each other through air passages in the furring strips that extend transversely to a longitudinal axis of the furring strip, i.e. these passages through the furring strips are horizontally disposed and serve to connect the cavities that are formed between adjacent furring strips thus providing ventilation of the entire area. By allowing air to enter the cavities between adjacent furring strips, there is a total or complete ventilation of the area between the sheathing and the exterior siding, thus the problems associated with water and moisture such mildew, rotting, mold and mold spores becomes moot.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,357,193—issued to Richard J. Morris on Mar. 19, 2002—discloses a roof batten for use in spacing tiles or similar exterior roofing members from a roof overlayment. This “batten” is structurally the same as the “furring strips” referred to in Morris, '383 immediately above.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,267,668—issued to Richard J. Morris on Jul. 31, 2001—discloses a roof vent formed by utilizing a pair of spaced
ventilation devices 50 that are advantageously disposed between installed sheets 20 and ridge cap 22 to insure that air exchange proximate peak 14 between the interior and exterior of roof will occur withinvent 50. - Although these three references discloses ventilated furring strips, batten strips, and ridge vent spacer strips they each rely on cavities that are within the strips that are transverse to the longitudinal axis of the various strips. Further, these three patents are all directed to the use of furring strips installed individually in the field whereas the subject matter of the instant invention provides a series of furring strips that are pre-attached to at least one side of conventional water resistive barrier (WRB) in the factory and automatically spaced and installed when the WRB is installed in the field. Additionally, the instant invention provides air passages or ridges that extend along the longitudinal axis, vertically disposed, which helps to promote drainage and drying longitudinally and prevents water from migrating laterally between the furring strips.
- An object of the invention is to provide a water resistive barrier (WRB) with furring strips for draining and drying the area between the exterior sheathing and the exterior cladding or siding.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a WRB with furring strips that have been previously attached to the WRB, which facilitates placement and spacing of the furring strips at the same time the WRB is installed.
- A further object of the invention is to attach the furring strips to any type of WRB, such as commercially available housewraps, regardless of the material composition of the WRB or furring strip.
- Yet another object of the invention is to provide a house wrap that includes furring strips that will help ensure that water will not accumulate between the structure's sheathing and the WRB or the WRB and the exterior cladding.
- A further object of the invention is to provide vertical passageways or ridges to help promote drainage and drying longitudinally in the wall assembly.
- These and other objects of the invention will become more apparent hereinafter. The instant invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings wherein like reference characters designate the corresponding parts throughout the several views.

FIG. 1 is an illustration of a house wherein the furring strips have been attached to the water resistive barrier (WRB) prior to installation of the WRB on the house. -
FIG. 2 is a view of a roll of WRB with the furring strips attached to both sides thereof prior to installation on the building. -
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along the plane 3-3 ofFIG. 2 illustrating the furring strips and their placement on the inner and outer surfaces of the WRB material. -
FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along the plane 44 ofFIG. 1 illustrating the passages within a pair of furring strips on opposite sides of the WRB. -
FIG. 5 is a detail illustration of the area enclosed by the oval inFIG. 4 , illustrating the vertical passage in the furring strips. -
FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken along the plane 6-6 ofFIG. 4 , illustrating the relationship of the furring strips relative to the WRB and the exterior siding. - Referring now to
FIG. 1 , there is shown a house with an attachedgarage 51. As illustrated,house 50 is wrapped with a waterresistive barrier 60, which will be referred to as WRB hereinafter, that includes a plurality offurring strips 61 attached to both sides ofWRB 60. However, only the outer side is shown in this view with thefurring strips 61 aligned as successive rows ofWRB 60 are applied to thehouse 50. As noted inFIG. 1 , the lowermost horizontal row ofWRB 60 begins at the lowermost right-hand side ofhouse 50 withfurring strip 61 aligned with the right end of the exterior sheathing and flap portion 60RF extending around the house on the right side thereof. Additionally, thelower end 61B offurring strips 61 are aligned with the bottom of the exterior sheathing, not shown. The next horizontal row ofWRB 60 is installed by overlapping the bottom of the roll 60BF over the top flap 60TF of the roll and unwrapping the WRB from theroll 60, thus any water from the upper row ofWRB 60 is discharged onto the top flap 60TF of the previous roll for easy run-off down the building side. - Turning now to
FIG. 2 , there is shown a roll ofWRB 60 withfurring strips 61 attached to both sides thereof. As shown,roll 60 is partially unwrapped showing a right flap portion 60RF at the rightmost end ofroll 60, the opposite end is provided with a left flap portion 60LF, not shown.Furring strips 61 are positioned on both sides of the WRB with the sides offset vertically from each other, leaving a top flap portion 60TF and a bottom flap portion 60BF on the respective sides thereof. This feature facilitates proper overlapping ofrolls 61 as shown inFIG. 1 . Although emphasis has been placed on the use of the WRB in “roll form”, it has been found to be equally useful when presented in “folded sheet form”. - Referring now to
FIG. 3 , there is shown a sectional view taken along the plane 3-3 ofFIG. 2 . This sectional view illustrates the relationship between thefurring strips larger strip 61W is approximately 1 and ¾ inches wide while the other,narrower strip 61N is approximately 1¼ inch in width. Thenarrower strip 61N is placed against the sheathing of the home with thewider strip 61W in abutting relation to the siding.Narrow strip 61N is approximately 1¼ inch in width, centered on thewider strip 61W with approximately ¼ overlap on each side thereof. As shown, WRB 60 is sandwiched between the twofurring strips narrower furring strip 61N against the sheathing. The reason for installing the furring strips in this manner is to minimize surface contact and thereby reduce the potential for water retention against the underlying structure. - Turning now to
FIG. 3 , there is shown thewider furring strip 61W on one side of WRB 60 withnarrower furring strip 61N centrally located on the opposite side of WRB 60. As shown,furring strips 61 include an upper wall and a lower wall with partitioningelements 61P interconnecting upper and lower walls, 61UW and 61LW, formingpassageways 61P to promote drainage and drying therethrough. The illustratedfurring strip 61 is but one example of many types that could be utilized. Additional types of furring strips include but are not limited to extruded expanded polystyrene, molded expanded polystyrene, polyurethane or polyethylene closed cell foam, or other non-absorptive spacer materials. The WRB sheets include but are not limited to polymeric, paper and felt type products. The type of WRB 60 may be changed as well as the manner of attaching thefurring strips 61 to the WRB. As an alternative to furring strips with passageways, the furring strips may have exterior grooves therein that serve as passageways for air, moisture and water. Although reference is made to the passage of air, moisture and water through passageways, 61P, this is not the primary path for drainage and drying. The primary area for drainage and drying is the space or areas betweenadjacent furring strips 61, the underlying components and exterior cladding. - Referring now to
FIG. 4 , there is shown a vertical sectional view taken along the plane 4-4 ofFIG. 1 . This is a sectional view through the wall of the garage illustrating the relationship of thesheetrock 75,insulation 73WRB 60, sheathing 70, andsiding 80. Positioned at the bottom of the air ventilation passageway is ascreening 65 that serves to limit the entrance of common insects into vertical passageways. - Referring now to
FIG. 5 , there is shown an enlarged view of the area within the oval markedFIG. 5 . As shown,narrower furring strip 61N is placed againstsheathing 70 withwider strip 61W immediately beneath siding 80. - Referring now to
FIG. 6 , there is shown a sectional view taken along the plane 6-6 ofFIG. 4 , illustrating an enlarged showing of the structure found inFIG. 4 . It is to be kept in mind that not only is there drainage and drying throughpassageways 61P offurring strips FIG. 3 ), there is more substantial areas for drainage and drying betweenadjacent furring strips WRB 60 andsheathing 70 and betweenWRB 60 andsiding 80, will be contained and eliminated due to drainage and drying therebetween. - While the invention has been described in its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the words which have been used are words of description rather than words of limitation and that changes may be made within the purview of the appended claims without departing from the full scope or spirit of the invention. Accordingly, the present invention is to be limited only by the appended claims, and not by the foregoing specification.
