What is the minimum thickness required for the Screen-grid Wall System?

The minimum thickness required for the Screen-grid Wall System is established based on the structural integrity, insulation properties, and building codes that govern construction practices. A thickness of 6 inches is often specified to ensure that the wall system can support both vertical loads and lateral forces, while also providing adequate thermal insulation. This thickness balances the need for strength and insulation without unnecessarily increasing material usage or construction costs.

Thicker walls beyond 6 inches may provide additional benefits in specific applications, but the specified minimum thickness is designed to meet most residential and commercial building requirements efficiently. It’s important for building inspectors and construction professionals to adhere to these specifications to ensure compliance with regulations and standards in the field.
