Hold it. They actually painted EPS boards?????? WHY??????
to tone down the purple and make it look like something was happening I would guess....I have never seen that done before.....Maybe it is some sort of new proprietary Cake Bake Shop coating to seal in the freshness? lol
They didn’t. eXP Board is gypsum-based glass mat sheathing, not EPS rigid insulation. A liquid applied weather barrier would look like paint.
Now we’re watching paint dry
Is that just an extra layer of protection against rain then? I guess I just assumed what they put up HAD to be rain resistant based on how long it was exposed.
The glass mat sheathing is water resistant but it alone does not do everything required of a building envelope. It’s not just rain you have to keep out but also water vapor. The weather barrier also provides a continuous plane to drain moisture that does get through the finish whereas the sheathing is boards with gaps that would allow moisture to accumulate.
Oh I'm more asking that because it's been sitting in Florida elements for like 7 months at this point, not that I thought that was permanent.
The photos don’t show any signs of corrosion. It is a fiberglass coated product. By being exposed it was also able to dry.
Still looks better than the Cake Bake Shop.Here's a look from today at exterior refurbishment taking place at the Boardwalk Resort.
I wonder if they’ve started on the inside at all.
Shouldn’t take too long if the theme is “white paint and some plants”.
