Still waiting to hear if I'm wrong or if your misling people.

Joe,
Couple things, first your post is absurd but I will reiterate what I meant just for you.

Most importantly your companies R value claims of R30. As you have noted although not entirely directly your panels are not r-30 throughout, so your overall whole wall r-value will not give the consumer an r-30 wall as your website implies. Seems like a big liability to your company. I do question the integrity of a company that misrepresents or leads one to believe something that isn't. It makes things difficult for all involved in construction.

Of course you've misinterpreted what I've said including adding a comma between homeowners and lawyers; when you quote I don't think your supposed to add to the quote at your own free will unless properly indicated.

My belief is performance standards and remediation for out of tolerance work is company specific and should be an article to the contract. Tolerances may change depending on the scope of the work, even budget in the case of very tight tolerances. My point was to say I believe industry association standards are ineffective and too broad to be of any real use, plus you need the means to get there not just a published number. In another post I mentioned a quality manual or program which I feel is a much better route to successfully maintaining standards and establishing a competitive edge which would be company specific. I'm sorry if I offended you or came off as overly aggressive, but these forums should be open for healthy debate to further the construction industry. I should have been more clear apparently.

I'm surprised that there has been no response to the question regarding the claims of R-30 for the ICF system that is the subject of this thread.

This question was posed by at least 3 or 4 of GBT's regular participants, and it seems to me that it either deserves a response that backs up the claim, or that the claim should be retracted.

There is no intent here to "bash" a specific product, or to impugn anyone's integrity. However, in my mind this is an viable issue since, apparently, there are many folks who make important decisions based on information that is disseminated on these forums.

I guess that I should qualify my last post by saying that "I'm surprised that there has been no DEFINITIVE response to the question regarding the claims of R-30 for the ICF system that is the subject of this thread". If there has been, I guess that I either missed it or just didn't get it.
