Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What are the primary benefits of using DuPont ArmorWall?
ArmorWall functions as a 5-in-1 continuous insulation system. It acts as the structural sheathing, continuous insulation, air barrier, water-resistive barrier (WRB), and fire-resistant barrier all in a single panel. This drastically reduces the number of trades needed on the exterior wall and accelerates construction timelines.

Does DuPont ArmorWall meet NFPA 285 standards?
Yes. ArmorWall is engineered with a proprietary fire-resistant core and cladding, allowing it to pass rigorous NFPA 285 fire testing in a wide variety of wall assemblies without the need for additional exterior gypsum sheathing. (Always refer to the official Fire Performance Assembly Details for your specific wall design).

Can ArmorWall be used to substitute a traditional exterior assembly?
Absolutely. Because it replaces traditional exterior gypsum, separate WRB/air barriers, and separate continuous exterior insulation, it is a highly popular target for value engineering. Our team can help you put together a comprehensive Substitution Package to present to the project architect or owner.

Need Expert Assistance with Your Building Envelope?
Ensuring your exterior wall assembly meets structural, thermal, and fire codes can be complex. You don't have to navigate the specifications alone.
Whether you need help compiling a substitution request, reviewing CAD details, or discussing continuous insulation strategies, the REPS Building Envelope team is ready to assist.
