Foam Insulation Board: A Fool-Proof Formula for Easy and Reliable Insulation

Homes and structures must be fitted with adequate insulation to withstand external temperatures and avoid the loss of heat. Using proper insulation on walls, roofs, ceilings, pipes, and even floors has invaluable advantages. Pipe insulation keeps liquids and valves from freezing during the winter. This will save home and company owners hundreds of millions in maintenance and repair expenses. Simply placed, insulation is necessary, regardless of the size of the home or structure.

Owing to the continuous need for suitable, reliable, and cost-effective insulating materials, many forms of insulation are currently available depending on the application. Among them, most popular are Continuous Insulation or Foam insulation boards. These boards are panels offered in widths varying from 1.5 "to 4." The most popular foam insulation ingredients are polyurethane, phenolic, polystyrene, and polyisocyanate foam. Most foam boards are made with CFC, but there is a new process that involves the use of water in the foaming stage. These boards are best used for insulation in walls, floors, ceilings, and roofs.

Installation and Standards

When choosing a board, take note of the R-value. The R-value represents the heat resistance of the insulative material. For some materials, a high R-value may fetch a higher price as well.
