Rigid foams have the highest insulating values of any conventional
foam insulation commercially available today. It contains literally
hundreds of millions of densely packed air cells. Since air is nature’s
most effective insulator, the sheer volume of this compressed trapped
air gives it exceptional thermal performance.
Installing Rigid board will upgrade the thermal resistance of exterior
frame walls that combines with fiberglass can be applied on the
inside of exterior block walls with furring applied over top of
board which can achieve a superior R rating. It readily withstands
pressures of heavy loads; resists common acid soils and decay. Suits
a variety of exterior finishes including masonry veneer; wood, aluminum,
steel and vinyl sidings; wood and mineral shingles and reinforced
stucco.
Rigid board has excellent resistance to moisture penetration, even
after exposure to wet soil, water leakage, etc. The product’s
built-in rigidity means it can be scored and snapped, cut, or sawed
with common tools. Sagging and settling are never a problem. We
also offer insulating sheathing which is manufactured with extra
toughness for new construction applications.
