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">

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...

FOAMULAR > Ү insulation is the only choice for below-grade applications where the continuous presence of moisture can rob other products of their performance.Unlike competitive foam products that absorb moisture, FOAMULAR > insulationΒs high resistance to water absorption enables it to retain its properties while in constant contact with underground moisture. > 10 size="-1">

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.

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...
