Abstract:
According to one embodiment, an insulated structure includes a frame comprising a plurality of wall studs coupled together and a plurality of foam boards attached to the frame to form a continuous insulative wall. A plurality of fasteners attaches the foam boards to the frame. Each fastener includes an elongate shaft and a cap. The elongate shaft is configured to penetrate through a foam board and into a wall stud to couple the components together. The cap is configured to be positioned atop a foam board to distribute a load relatively evenly to the foam board. A sealing tape is applied across seams between adjacent foam boards and over the fasteners' caps to seal the wall. A sealing caulk is applied to secondary fasteners and penetrations to seal the wall. In some embodiments, the structure has a fastener density of about 1 fastener per 243 in 2  of foam board.

Claim (Index 6):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of fasteners are primary fasteners and wherein the method further comprises attaching exterior cladding to the continuous wall to form an exterior wall of the structure, wherein the exterior cladding is attached to the continuous wall via a plurality of secondary fasteners.
