Inside a High-Performance Wall Assembly

Cross-section diagram of The Fairway Residence wall assembly: siding, rain-screen gap, continuous rigid insulation, taped ZIP sheathing, 2x6 framing with rockwool insulation, interior finish.

At The Fairway Residence in Warren Township, we're building walls the way they should be built: with continuous exterior insulation, ZIP sheathing, and advanced air sealing that goes far beyond code requirements.

The wall assembly starts with 2x6 framing filled with dense rockwool insulation, followed by ZIP System sheathing tape-sealed at every seam. Over that goes continuous rigid insulation, eliminating thermal bridging that plagues conventional construction.

The result? A wall that performs. Blower door tested. Infrared verified. Built to last generations, not just pass inspection.

This is what high-performance building looks like in practice, not just on paper.
