The Rehab Guide Volume 2: Exterior Walls (August 1999, 96 p.)
HUD's second volume of The Rehab Guide, is part of a series of nine guidebooks to inform the design and construction industry about state-of-the-art materials and innovative practices in housing rehabilitation. The Rehab Guide series focuses on building technologies, materials, components, and techniques rather than projects such as adding a new room. When the series is complete, each volume will cover a distinct element of housing rehabilitation and feature breakthrough materials, labor-saving tools, and cost-cutting practices.
The second volume, entitled The Rehab Guide: Exterior Walls, was developed as part of the Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing (PATH). It contains an overview of exterior wall framing that includes wind-resistance and seismic-resistance information as well as information about design and engineering; masonry/brick veneer; sheathing; insulation; siding; stucco; exterior trim; sealants and caulks; and paints.
