I am rebuilding the ground floor walls in my Florida stilt house and this looks like the right material to finish the walls. I am planning to waterproof the wood with Red Guard or a similar material and I was planning to insulate it with closed cell polyurethane spray foam that does not absorb water. Any thoughts on this plan?

Nice thread Cliff. I was flooded here in Fla also. Have removed 33" of drywall and am using Waterproofing sealant on the studs even though I can't get to the outside edge of studs. I've decided on pink foam for insulation. I'm using two - 1" thick pieces in each bay. The reason is that I can cut a "channel" for the electrical wiring easier with two pieces. One piece goes behind wire, the next piece has channel cut into it. I tape the pieces together at the top and use a long piece of tape going around the back and sides but in the front I just leave about 4" (folded over) so I will be able to grab and pull the insulation out after the next flood. Configuring my list of materials now for the EnduroFlood outer layer.
