110 - Deciding Insulation Levels & Structural Implications of Floor Sheathing Fastener Type & Schedule
Great questions from our listeners!
How do you determine the best insulation levels by climate (with the best being the greatest value)?
Does adding screws (at some point during construction) make sense when using Advantech floor sheathing, adhesive, and ring shank nails?

NOTE: This is about as dry a resource as we would ever recommend, but it has great technical info on all manner of structural floor sheathing installation, including bond and mechanical fastener performance.
