Oregon R327 noncombustible exterior-wall path

Where locally adopted, Oregon R327 includes noncombustible material as one path for an exterior wall covering or wall assembly.

This record covers only the noncombustible path. Ignition-resistant material, heavy timber, log walls, ASTM E2707-tested assemblies, and the named gypsum-backed exceptions are separate paths. Product material does not replace the full wall-assembly review.
