Designed for masonry cavity wall applications, FOAMULAR insulation is virtually impervious to moisture–along with its high R-value, lightweight, competitive price, and wide range of sizes—makes it ideal for use in a cavity wall system.
APPLICATIONS
- Concrete Masonry Unit
ADVANTAGES
- Moisture Management
- Easy Installation
- Durability
Owens Corning® FOAMULAR® CW15 and CW25 Extruded
Polystyrene (XPS) Insulation is closed-cell, moisture-resistant rigid foam boards designed for cavity wall applications. Pre-cut 16″ wide boards yield fast, labor-saving installation.
Features
• Excellent long-term stable insulating performance of R-51per inch
• Exceptional moisture resistance, long-term durability
• Reusable
• Lightweight, durable rigid foam panels are easy to handle and install
• Easy to saw, cut or score
R means the resistance to heat flow; the higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power.
Technical Information
• FOAMULAR®
XPS insulation is a non-structural material and must be installed on framing which is independently braced and structurally adequate to meet required construction and service loading conditions.
• FOAMULAR®
XPS insulation can be exposed to the exterior during normal construction cycles. During that time some fading of color may begin due to UV exposure,
and, if exposed for extended periods of time, some degradation or “dusting” of the polystyrene surface may begin. It is best if the product is covered within 60 days to minimize degradation. Once covered, the deterioration
stops, and the damage is limited to the thin top surface layers of cells. Cells below are generally unharmed and still useful insulation.
• This product is combustible. A protective barrier or thermal barrier is required to separate this product from interior living or conditioned spaces as specified in the appropriate building code.
• All construction should be evaluated for the necessity to provide vapor retarders. See the current ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals.
