Foamular 4x8x2" R-10

The FOAMULAR 4x8x2" R-10 is a rigid foam insulation board produced by Owens Corning, commonly used in residential and commercial construction for insulating walls, roofs, and foundations. Here’s a breakdown of its key features:

Size:

• 4 feet by 8 feet: Standard dimensions for insulation boards, making them easy to install and handle for various construction projects.
• 2 inches thick: The 2-inch thickness provides enhanced insulating properties, making it suitable for more substantial applications where better insulation is required.

R-Value:

• R-10: The R-value is a measure of thermal resistance, and an R-10 rating means the board offers a high level of insulation. This makes it effective for controlling heat flow in and out of a structure, improving energy efficiency and comfort.

Material:

• Extruded Polystyrene (XPS): FOAMULAR boards are made from extruded polystyrene, which provides excellent moisture resistance, durability, and thermal performance. It is a closed-cell foam, meaning it is less likely to absorb water, making it suitable for below-grade applications like foundation insulation.

Moisture Resistance:

• XPS foam has superior moisture resistance, preventing water absorption that could degrade the insulating performance over time. This feature makes FOAMULAR ideal for damp environments, such as basements and foundation walls.

Applications:

• Walls and Roofs: FOAMULAR insulation boards are commonly used in exterior wall sheathing and roofing systems to increase energy efficiency.
• Foundations: Due to its moisture-resistant properties, it is often used in below-grade applications like foundation walls and slab insulation.
• Other Uses: It can be used in insulating garages, attics, and other areas where thermal resistance is needed.

Sustainability:

• FOAMULAR XPS insulation is known for its long-term durability and performance, maintaining its R-value for decades, which helps lower energy costs over time.
