Question: Is sisalation required when building with the Quickclad System?
A: Sisalation - generally not used with the QuickClad System. The sheets are first glued to wall structure for extra stability then screwed. Sisalation does effect the gluing process. However sisalation can be used if you wish to boost insulation properties.
