A previously formed unitary building exterior envelope product is
provided, comprising: a mineral fiber insulation board including a binder
having a hydrophobic agent and is resistant to liquid water-penetration
and has first and second major surfaces, an exterior facing material,
which resists air infiltration and liquid water penetration, laminated to
the first major surface, the exterior facing material being permeable to
water vapor, and a continuous interior facing laminated to the second
major surface, so that the second major surface is resistant to liquid
water-penetration and is permeable to water vapor. The section of product
is mounted to an exterior side of a plurality of framing members of an
exterior wall of a building, so that the interior facing faces the
framing members. An exterior layer is mounted to the framing members
using a connection device that passes through the section of product,
with the facing material facing the exterior layer.
