Almost all construction materials, at some time in the building construction or life cycle, are exposed to water in the form of a liquid, vapor or solid ice.FOAMULAR > Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) Insulation has a combination of characteristics that result in very low water absorption when compared to other types of insulation, which results in long-term thermal performance. > 4 size="-1">

Foamular - 5

A critical factor affecting long-term building performance is the ability of an insulating material to resist moisture.Not all foam insulations provide adequate water resistance necessary to meet real-world construction applications. Insulation that absorbs water loses R-value and other important properties, resulting in a loss in long-term thermal performance. > Significant differences in water absorption occur when different test methods are used to measure the same property. Compared with other types of foam insulation, FOAMULAR Unlike competing types of rigid insulation, FOAMULAR...

XPS is the only insulation allowed by building code in below-grade horizontal applications, such as frost- protected shallow foundations and slabs. > In cases where local soil conditions make it impractical or uneconomical to install a full-depth foundation, FOAMULAR > insulation provides an effi cient insulation option. When used to protect foundations from frost penetration, FOAMULAR FOAMULAR > ή insulation products protect against energy loss below grade, a signifi cant source of residential energy loss. Its high water resistance makes it the ideal choice to protect against the constant...

APPLICATIONS Raft-R-Mate > Extruded Polystyrene Attic Rafter Vents/AtticMate > ή Rafter Vents > Can be installed in an attic to prevent insulation from blocking the eave or soffi t vents. Allows attics to have unobstructed airfl ow from the soffi t to the eaves to provide adequate attic ventilation. Owens Corning recommends that, when installed above-grade, FOAMULAR insulation be covered with appropriate cladding or coating material to prevent sun damage. Building code requirements mandate that when used in an inhabited space, all foam plastics including XPS, EPS and ISO be covered with an...
