Field Furring Strips (Title 24 Energy Code Application) Diamond<>Furr®

Diamond-Furr Furring Strips have and patented design that offers the first real solution to the moisture intrusion problems that have plagued the plastering industry for decades.

The 18 gauge Furring Strips (pt # DF-375) are designed for polyiso & standard 3-coat plaster. They are installed over the polyiso insulation, weather barrier or directly to the substrate when liquid applied air / water barriers are used. The Strips are attached to vertical framing members every 16” using wafer-head screws and the metal lath is then secured to the Furring Strips using 18ga tie wire through the provided attachment holes.

The result is a flexible connection which reduces cracking and effectively
eliminates over 55% of the fastener penetrations through the weather barrier in the field and 100% elimination when a liquid barrier is applied! Diamond-Furr trims also provide uninterrupted 3/8” furring for superior lath embedment and completely remove the potential for torn weather barriers due to over tightened screws. For warranty purposes, please refrain from using spray foam with this system.

Diamond-Furr Strips works in conjunction with our patented Diamond-Furr Termination Trims which eliminate 100% of the fastener penetrations through the moisture barrier around critical areas such as doors and windows.

We recommend using the complete Diamond-Furr System for the greatest
available protection against moisture intrusion and a significant reduction in liability exposure. Diamond-Furr is also available with a longer ground size to comply with the needs of the new energy code requirements.
