FOUNDATION AND DRAINAGE WALL INSULATION ROXUL DRAINBOARD* High Performance Drainage Insulation for Below Grade Basement and Foundation Wall Systems

Roxul DrainBoard® High Performance Drainage Insulation ROXUL DRAINBOARD is a rigid stone wool insulation board for high performance fibrous foundation drainage systems. This stone wool board insulation features a unique non-directional fiber structure that contributes to DRAINBOARD’s strength and means the boards can be installed either horizontally or vertically without any loss of drainage ability. The superior strength of DRAINBOARD also means it is very resistant to damage during installation and backfilling operations. ® ROXUL DRAINBOARD: 3-1 Solution For Exterior Basement and...

Foundation and Drainage Wall Insulation Lifetime Global Warming Potential (GWP) of Common Insulation Materials Zero Net Energy (ZNE) Buildings The critical steps to reduce to a building's energy consumption usually occur during the design process. The development and movement towards modern zero net energy (ZNE) buildings has become possible through sustainable products like ROXUL DRAINBOARD . While foam products are commonly found within building walls, for the sake of the environment, it's time to change the common practice and switch to a more sustainable product like mineral wool. Below...

Foundation and Drainage Wall Insulation DRAINBOARD : Advantages of Insulating the Exterior Basement Wall ® Stone wool is moisture resistant, yet vapor permeable insulation (30-40 perms) and will allow transient vapors to pass through without restriction. Lower permeable insulations such as XPS foam can also work as vapor retarders and can greatly affect the drying potential. Foundation insulation on the exterior will keep the wall warmer, allowing the wall to dry to the interior. If walls remain warm, there is a decreased risk of condensation, mold, mildew and bacteria growth. Recommended...
