Polyiso Insulation

Polyiso with black paper backing. In independent testing, polyiso's thermal performance has proven to exceed other common roof insulating materials. The test revealed that less polyiso is needed to maintain the same R-Value. Polyiso has the highest R-Value per inch of thickness of any building material on the market. An R-Value indicates the insulation's resistance to heat flow. The more heat flow resistance your insulation provides, the lower your heating and cooling cost become. While typically used in commercial roofing, polyiso can be used as wall insulation with R-values kin to closed cell spray foam.

Features

Not affected when exposed to petroleum based solvents in adhesives, paints, stains, water repellent and preservative coatings, and in bituminous waterproofing.

Superior performance in fire tests - Polyiso meets the strict standard of both FM Class 1 Approvals (FM 4450/4470), UL 1256, and CAN/ULC S126M

A CFC- and HCFC-free product with zero ozone depletion potential

Virtually all Polyiso insulation is manufactured using recycled material.

6.5 R value per Inch

Foil faced Polyiso insulation is suitable for use in masonry and rain screen cavity walls. Both commercial and residential buildings typically require a "cavity wall" of air space and insulation between the brick veneer or rain screen and the interior to provide protection from weather and fire. Since the required thickness of insulation affects the cost of construction, an increasing number of builders and architects are choosing Polyiso cavity wall insulation due to its superior R-value to thickness ratio

The low permeability of foil-faced Polyiso coupled with its high thermal performance decreases the likelihood of condensation in walls.

Superior performance in fire tests - Polyiso meets the strict standard of both FM Class 1 Approvals (FM 4450/4470), UL 1256, and CAN/ULC S126M

Virtually all Polyiso insulation is manufactured using recycled material.

6.5 R-value Per inch, when installed properly, the R-value of the system can be bumped by R-3

Polyiso HD Cover Board has the highest thermal performance of any 1/2-inch insulation cover board on the market with an R-value of 2.5 and meets FM Global 1-90 standards. With a compressive strength of more than 800 kPa, Polyiso HD Cover Board adds structural strength and helps to absorb the effects of hail, worker traffic and other potentially damaging impacts. It is a high-density, closed cell, Polyiso foam core that has been manufactured with a coated fiberglass facer which is mold and moisture resistant, eliminating the threat of fungi or bacteria. While typically used in commercial roofing, polyiso can be used as wall insulation with R-values kin to closed cell spray foam.

Features

Extremely lightweight.

2.5 R-Value per half inch of thickness.

At only 12 lbs. per 4'x8' sheet, this product can offer savings from reduced transportation costs, labor and material during application.

Virtually all Polyiso insulation is manufactured using recycled material.

Additional Uses

Polyiso HD Cover Board can be placed under photovoltaic (PV) solar-energy systems on rooftops to prevent overburden issues.

Can be taped, mudded, and painted as an easier alternative to drywall.
