Rigid insulation

Rigid insulation is one of the best tools to reduce your energy costs. Install it anywhere from the roof to the foundation. You can even place it under the foundation slab. Rigid foam insulation, also known as insulating boards, provide high R-values.

They keep your home at a comfortable temperature without the need to crank your heat. Here, you can find overstock, discontinue non-standard sizes, and more. All rigid insulation meets ASTM C5requirements and is offered at a discount!

Finish under budget on your next job by saving big with us. Falls in the middle of the three types of rigid-foam insulation in both cost and R-value. Used most in walls or below grade applications. Recyclable, and at about R-per inch, costs around 42¢ per sq.

Rigid-foam insulation packs a lot of R-value into a relatively thin package. It is often used as a layer of continuous insulation on exterior walls and in the roof. Used in this way, the foam lowers the loss of energy through framing members, a phenomenon called thermal bridging, and increases the overall R-value of the roof or wall assembly.

TRYMER Supercel Phenolic Insulation is a closed-cell rigid phenolic foam insulation , supplied in the form of large buns for fabrication into pipe shells, curved segments, sheets, tank and vessel coverings, and other shapes for a variety of thermal insulation applications. All-purpose foam panel insulation for masonry and other applications. The higher the R-value, the greater its effectiveness.

Find the R-Value Right for Your Home. What are the types of rigid insulation? How do you install rigid insulation? Which rigid insulation should I Choose?

What is the your factor of rigid insulation? There are three main types of rigid foam insulation : expanded polystyrene (EPS), extruded polystyrene (XPS), and polyisocyanurate. Key differences are R-value per inch, water resistance, compressive strength, permeability to water vapor, facings, and of course, cost.

All foam insulation products are petroleum-derived. Gone are the days of fiberglass splinters, heavy insulation products that are hard to cut, and blown in pieces that take a lot of material for adequate coverage. Tapered rigid insulation is useful on roofs that have excessive water ponding issues, where water cannot find its way to a drain or gutter. This is caused from a variety of issues that are related to the contour of the existing structural deck. Three rigid -foam choices Expanded polystyrene (EPS).

EPS is the insulation used most widely in insulated concrete forms and structural insulated. Extruded polystyrene (XPS). Easily recognized by its blue, green, or pink color, XPS falls in the middle of the three. Polyisocyanurate (ISO). The glass-fiber reinforcement contributes to improved fire performance and dimensional stability.

Atlas has more than years’ experience manufacturing polyiso. While MEPS is not as resistant to water damage, XEPS, polyurethane and polyiso rigid foam make effective barriers against moisture, although sometimes a facing made of aluminum foil may have be needed. It is available in formed or extruded sheets of varying sizes, which are made from polystyrene or polyurethane. This material helps to improve the energy efficiency of a home by keeping cold or hot air from penetrating the walls.

This rigid foam is also easy-to-use for DIY insulation projects. Whether you are insulating your basement, attic, or garage door, R-TECH is an easy way to increase your homes energy efficiency. Available from home improvement stores nation-wide, R-TECH comes in various thicknesses, panel sizes and fanfold options without loose insulation all over, or pesky and painful fiberglass slivers to avoid. The first piece may go from 1” high to 1½” high , then the next piece will go from 1½” high to 2” high. Cut panels to fit using a box cutter or snap-away utility knife.

Use a straight edge or T-square to guide your. Position the first foam panel perpendicular to the wall or ceiling framing. Hold the foam in place while you use 2-inch. Prongs enable pre-spotting into insulation (for fast on-the-wall fastener assembly).

We supply all types of Once-Used ISO, XPS and EPS foam boards in truckload to pallet size orders. Why Buy Reclaimed Rigid Foam Insulation ?
