R-Matte® Plus-3 Insulation for the Building Envelope ROOF WALL SPECIALTY PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Rmax R-Matte® Plus-3 is an energy-efficient thermal insulation board composed of a closed-cell polyisocyanurate (polyiso) foam core bonded to reinforced aluminum foil facers on each side. While one side of the board has a reflective surface, the other side has been coated to have a non-reflective white matte surface. Boards can be installed with either the silver or white side out. For additional radiant barrier properties, install silver side against air space if one exists.

Vertical joints must be backed by framing or structural sheathing. Taping the joints is acceptable, although not required. Rmax recommends using a pressure sensitive tape such as R-SEAL Construction Tape, R-SEAL 3000, or equivalent. Securement Rmax recommends a minimum of eight fasteners per 4'x8' board. Additional fasteners may be required in locations expected to experience additional loading (heavy wind drafts/gusts, accelerated wear and tear, etc.) prior to attachment of covering material (cladding, furring, thermal barrier, etc.) or when not being covered. Exact number of fasteners also depends on the type being used and the capacity, consult fastener manufacturer. Fasten to wood framing using roofing nails, bugle head screws, cap nails, or staples. The fasteners shall be long enough to penetrate wood framing a minimum of 1". Fasten to metal framing using self-taping screws and plastic washers. The fasteners shall be long enough to penetrate metal framing a minimum of four threads. Secure to concrete surfaces using plastic masonry fasteners with washer or a quality grade construction adhesive. Rodenhouse fasteners, sold by Rmax, are a great option for fastening R-Matte® Plus-3 to wood, steel and concrete substrates. Refer to the Rmax/Rodenhouse Fastener List and Installation Guide for more details. LIMITATIONS R-Matte® Plus-3 is not recommended, nor warranted, for use as a commercial roof insulation directly under membrane systems. Consult Rmax Sales for suitable commercial roof insulation products. R-Matte® Plus-3 is not a structural panel. It must not be used as a nailing base for any other building products. Furthermore, stud walls insulated with R-Matte® Plus-3 must be properly braced for lateral loads according to the requirements of local Building Codes. WARNING Installations utilizing R-Matte® Plus-3 must be fully protected on the inhabited side of the building by a thermal barrier such as a minimum of 1/2" gypsum wallboard, or equivalent. Consult local Building Codes and insurance authorities regarding special applications or details required when using R-Matte® Plus-3 as an exposed product. The code also has provisions regarding vapor retarders, type and location, based on the assembly, climate zone and the amount of continuous insulation. It is up to the design professional to specify an assembly that will perform adequately and meet these requirements. Per the IBC and IRC, a WRB is required behind the exterior wall veneer. WARRANTY See Rmax "Sales Policy" for warranty conditions. Rmax does not assume any responsibility or liability for the performance of any products other than those manufactured by Rmax. NOTE: All Rmax products must be tarped, placed on skids and kept dry before and throughout construction.
