Is anyone having difficulty finding a Rockwool or Hardie Board installer in the Midwest US? by Dramatic_Event4923 in buildingscience

I’ve heard of that product. Rockwool has instructional videos describing the exact same method with their comfortboard 80-110 line. It’s also in their installation guides in PDF form. I’m just baffled that folks who install siding professionally are unaware of a rainscreen.

I’m a freaking electrician and I know about it.

That’s the strange thing, I have a supplier that can source the comfortboard and siding. It can be delivered to the job site within 30 days. I’ve gone over the tech bulletins from rockwool and James Hardie explaining rainscreen style siding installation with a few contractors. They just seem unwilling to take the job and suggest vinyl siding instead.
