Green - Saves Energy. The panel’s integrated EPS insulation core creates a 100% thermal barrier, effectively blocking cold-air infiltration into the home and heat transfer. From the inside, your conditioned air is blocked from escaping. Both functions provide significant energy savings without reduction of performance over time.
A coffee cup is only 1/16" thick and you can hold water in it that is over 200 degrees. Imagine the thermal protection from a wall 96x thicker!
Energy Star Performance. As one of the best performing insulators known, EPS is made of material similar to a Styrofoam cup – at just 1/16” your hand is protected from 200-degree coffee. Our standard 6” panel contains EPS that is 96 times thicker than a coffee cup for a 100% thermal barrier, meeting stringent Energy Star standards. Our 8“ panel is 128 times thicker!
Excellent R-Values. 8” roof panel: R-value 31.6 with a 100% thermal barrier; 6” wall and deck panel: R-value 24.3 with a 100% thermal barrier. Unlike fiberglass, ISO foam and cellulose, EPS won’t shrink, absorb or retain moisture which reduces R-values and thermal performance.
