Abstract: A wall assembly is manufactured for supporting an exterior covering of a structure. The wall assembly includes a frame assembly including a top member and a bottom member spaced from the top member. The frame assembly further includes a plurality of vertical members spaced from each other and coupled to and extending between the top and bottom members. The plurality of vertical members each have an exterior surface configured to face an exterior of the structure. A rigid foam layer is directly coupled to the exterior surface of the plurality of vertical members. A sheathing layer is coupled to the rigid foam layer opposite the plurality of vertical members with the sheathing layer configured to receive the exterior covering.

Abstract: A wall assembly is manufactured for supporting an exterior coving of a structure. The wall assembly includes a frame assembly including a top member, a bottom member, and a plurality of vertical members extending between the top and bottom members. The vertical members are recessed from an exterior surface of the top and bottom members. A sheathing layer is coupled to the top and bottom members and is spaced from the plurality of vertical members thereby defining a gap. At least one spacer is coupled to at least one of the plurality of vertical members with the at least one spacer including an outer periphery. An insulating layer is disposed with the gap between the sheathing layer and the plurality of vertical members and encapsulates the outer periphery of the spacer.
