Features
- Insulation Application: OSB insulating sheathing - Facers present on Foamular Insulating Sheathing should only be removed if delaminating from the Foamular, thermal performance is not affected by the facer
- Strong, lightweight pink foam panels don't require special tools
- Excellent energy efficiency in the form of a high R-5 per inch. R means the resistance to heat flow, the higher the value, the greater the insulation power. This insulation must be installed properly to get the marked R-value. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. If a manufacturer's fact sheet is not provided with the material shipment, request this and review it carefully. The U.S.FTC requires the R-value of home insulation to be measured at 75ºF mean temperature. R-value claims should always be compared at the same mean temperature.
- Low water absorption potential, delivering outstanding R-value retention in the presence of water
- XPS with a limited lifetime warranty has a minimum 90% of R-value for the life of the product. See actual warranty for complete details, limitations and requirements.
- Manufactured with a blowing agent that delivers a greater than 80% reduction in global warming potential as compared to legacy FOAMULAR(R) XPS Insulation. Listed in the Energy Star Seals and Insulates program.
- Tested by a third party certification body to ensure product performance and Code acceptance
- GREENGUARD Certified products are certified to GREENGUARD standards for low chemical emissions into indoor air during product usage.
- Wide range of compressive strengths - up to 100 psi - to handle heavy loads
