R-1.3The best practice for increasing the R-value in exterior walls is to protect them with insulated foam sheathing. Some builders use 1/2-inch wood sheathing (R-0.6) or asphalt impregnated sheathing, usually called blackboard (R-1.3) to sheath the walls.
Fiberboard products have been widely used on building exteriors as a non-structural wall sheathing, even on some roofs as roof sheathing, and on building interiors as a ceiling or wall covering.
Exterior wall sheathing is either structural or non-structural. Structural exterior wall sheathing ties framing studs together, making the walls resistant to twisting and bending. However, most structural exterior wall sheathings lack insulation value.Mar 9, 2020

A wall utilizing STYROFOAM T-MASS Technology with a 2-inch exterior layer and a 4-inch interior layer of concrete along with a 2-inch layer of STYROFOAM extruded polystyrene insulation would result in a material R-value of approximately 11.33.
The material is noncombustible for high fire resistance and is water-resistant.
