Hello! We are going to change the facade and insulate with something called Västkustskivan. I went to see a job where the builder insulated with Västkustskivan. Does this look correct and proper to you?
 
  • Close-up of a house wall renovation, showing partially installed Västkustskivan insulation near a window.
  • Close-up of a house exterior showing white siding installation with Västkustskivan insulation around a window frame.
Isn't the fascia board above the window hanging a little too low?

They are probably not finished yet.

No, they are supposed to cover the inside.. But I'm thinking about how they placed the insulation and moisture barrier behind.

I think it looks like the board is the wrong way, but otherwise, it's probably right. If you want a wind barrier, it's usually installed before.
 
They appear to have 2 different canvases. One in front of the insulation and one at the back. If you look closely at the pictures, you can see it.

The west coast board has a felt on one side and it should be against the facade.

Right. I think you can see the blanket in the picture. It's up against the facade I see now.
I talked to customer service at västkustskivan. I don't remember exactly what they said. But apparently, you don't need a lot of things that you need with regular insulation. Since västkustskivan can breathe itself, etc. etc.
Is there anyone who knows anything about it?

Well, I know Rockwool and Paroc have different installation directions regarding the felt. Also different with the recommendation about the metal at the bottom.
