Nonstructural Sheathing-Fiberglass Mat
This type of sheathing does not add significantly to a wall's strength but can greatly increase its insulation value. Rigid foam and cellulose-fiber panels may be attached directly to wall studs or masonry walls, under or over structural sheathing (depending upon nailing requirements), or, in some cases, over existing siding before re-siding.
The two most common types of foam-board sheathing materials are extruded polystyrene or polyisocyanurate. Polyisocyanurate has higher per-inch insulation (R) values-up to R-8.7 per inch-than polystyrene.
Affected by moisture, paper faced gypsum board is easy to become yellow, deformation, fracture, fall off and difficult to repair. Glass mat sheathing is a good substitute of paper. It combines well with gypsum board and has good air permeability, not blistering. It's weather resistance and mold proof. Meanwhile, it upgrades fire proof performance of gypsum board compared to paper faced board.
