Nice link. Thanks.
I agree with your conclusions.

Thanks. Appreciate your opinion, but the article doesn't support the conclusion it draws. It just talks about this one homeowner who didn't like the idea of it being used in his house. Period. No problems pointed out, neither generally or specifically.

Hi Wolicy_ponk, I'm in TN also (East TN).
I think you have valid concerns. I didn't notice the thickness of the material on my quick look at the spec sheet. That's pretty dang thin.
At the least, the house contractor should use 7/16 OSB at all the corners of the house. I've also seen people use angled metal strapping nailed to the studs as a wind bracing when using styrene board, etc., perhaps that could be used in addition.
Those that point out the issues with having vinyl siding on the ground floor in conjuction with this board have a point also. A hole in the wall big enough to climb through could be made in a few minutes with a pocket knife and a swift kick.
