Polyiso continues to be one of the most cost-effective, energy
efficient and environmentally responsible insulation products
available, delivering dependable year after year benefits.
All polyiso insulation uses a hydrocarbon-based blowing agent which
has zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and virtually no Global
Warming Potential (GWP). This blowing agent complies with the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) and Canadian Environmental
Protection Act (CEPA). Polyiso insulation is the answer to CFC and HCFC
free specification requirements.
Inch for inch, polyiso has superior energy efficiency performance
compared to other building insulation products. In fact, independent
testing of polyiso’s thermal performance has proven its R-value exceeds
that of other common insulating materials.
Because of its high R-value per inch - which is the measure of
thermal resistance used to describe an insulating material’s
effectiveness – less polyiso is needed to maintain the same R-value.
This results in:
- Thinner walls and roofs with shorter fasteners.
- Less change in building dimensions to meet a determined R-value.
- Immediate cost savings through a reduction in materials and labor.
