Rigid Insulation

Rigid Insulation

The product lines we carry are extremely cost effective, significantly improve the energy efficiency and noise control of homes, large buildings and commercial structures and are designed to improve the comfort of occupants as well as “ease of use” by construction and renovation specialists.

Rigid Insulation provides thermal protection and can often serve as an air and moisture barrier. It is very effective at resisting heat flow thus saving energy/money. There are two main types of rigid insulation: expanded polystyrene (EPS) and extruded polystyrene (XPS).

SilveRboard is a rigid insulation board made from Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) covered with a layer of polypropylene reflective lamination on both sides. This highly effective combination of materials offers high compressive strength and great thermal performance when used in below grade and under slab applications.

 

SB25 (HD – Type 3): R4.35 per inch   /   25 PSI   /   4’x8′ or 4’x10′

SB35 (HD – Type 3): R5.0 per inch   /   35 PSI   /   4’x8′ or 4’x10′

SB40 (HD – Type 3):R5.0 per inch   /   40 PSI   /   4’x8′ or 4’x10′

EVXD Exterior Insulated Drain Board is a two-in-one rigid Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) insulation board that has integrated drainage channels and is suitable for use on basement foundation walls in both internal and external applications.

With vertical channels every 2” on centre, these panels allow moisture to drain towards the bottom of the wall where it can be dealt with by a properly installed drainage tile system. It also helps your project meet the Government of Ontario’s SB-12 requirement for Continuous Insulation (ci).

R-Value:
R4.0 per inch   /   16 – 30 PSI   /   4′ x 8′

SOPRA-XPS rigid thermal insulation board is made of extruded polystyrene and is composed of closed cell foam. It can be used as thermal insulation for residential applications on exterior foundation walls and under concrete slabs.

SOPRA-XPS:  20 to 100 R5.0 per inch
20 – 100 PSI     /     2’x8’ or 4’x8’

Styrorail’s SR.P products are versatile expanded polystyrene insulation panels used to insulate all surfaces from the foundation to the roof. Insulate the interior or exterior surface of foundation walls, the interior or exterior of framed walls as well as underneath the basement and garage concrete slabs.
