Insulation Family Guide for Residential Applications
WHERE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE MAKE A HOME
Insulation is a critical feature of any home impacting overall comfort by helping maintain a uniform temperature throughout the house. Owens Corning provides home builders and home buyers with a number of insulation solutions to meet their needs. Every home is different though. Factors such as architecture, climate and building codes combine to create a wide variety of needs which demand an equally wide range of high-performance insulation solutions. The FOAMULAR® Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) Insulation family of rigid foam board products is here to offer these solutions. Together with EcoTouch® insulation and housewrap, FOAMULAR® insulation is an integral part of Owens Corning® ResidentialComplete® Wall Systems.
FOAMULAR® XPS INSULATION FAMILY VALUES FOR RESIDENTIAL APPLICATIONS
COMPREHENSIVE LINE OF PRODUCTS. · Wide choice of sizes, thicknesses and edges for
fast installation, less labor. · Choose the strength you need, from 15 to 100 psi. · Available unfaced or with film facing for added
damage resistance. LIFETIME LIMITED WARRANTY.* · For the life of the home or building. · Maintains at least 90% of its R-value**. · Covers all product properties - ASTM C578.
*See actual warranty for complete details, limitations and requirements. **R-value means resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value the greater the insulating power. As manufactured, Fiberglas insulation is resistant to mold growth. However, mold growth can occur on building materials, including insulation, when it becomes contaminated with organic material and when water is present. To avoid mold growth on FiberglasTM insulation, remove any water that has accumulated and correct or repair the source of the water as soon as possible. Insulation that has become wet should be inspected for evidence of residual moisture and contamination, and any insulation that is contaminated should be promptly removed and replaced.
EXCEPTIONAL MOISTURE RESISTANCE.
· Resists moisture and retains R-value even after exposure to standing water, wet soil and more.
· Resists common acid soils and decay. · Effectively blocks mildew, corrosion and rot.
OUTSTANDING INSULATING PROPERTIES.
· High, stable R-value (5 per inch of product thickness). · Higher R-value than wood fiber, plywood or 1/2"
gypsum board products. · Readily combines with EcoTouch® insulation for
greater R-value in walls. · Used in fire-rated exterior wall assemblies for
application in single and multi-family residential buildings, office buildings, schools, shopping centers and more.
INCREDIBLE EASE OF USE.
· Easy to handle, score, cut and install; no special tools needed.
· Can be used on either wood or steel framing or concrete walls.
· Compatible with common exterior finishes & claddings.
· Meets all applicable codes and standards.
SUSTAINABLE BENEFITS.
· Foamular is certified to meet indoor air quality standards under the stringent GREENGUARD Gold Certification Program.
· Foamular has third party certified recycled content by Scientific Certification Systems (SCS) to contain an average of 20% recycled content.
· Made with a zero ozone depletion formula. · Reusable.

1. Properties shown are representative values for 1" thick material, unless otherwise specified. Testing modified as needed for products less than 1/2" thickness.
2. Modified as required to meet ASTM C578 3. R means the resistance to heat flow; the higher the value, the greater the insulation power. This
insulation must be installed properly to get the marked R-value. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. If a manufacturer's fact sheet is not provided with the material shipment, request this and review it carefully. R-values vary depending on many factors including the mean temperature at which the test is conducted, and the age of the sample at the time of testing. The R-value for FOAMULAR® XPS is provided from testing at two mean temperatures, 40º F and 75 º F, and 180 day real-time aged (as mandated by ASTM C578). The R-value at 180 day real-time age and 75º F mean temperature is commonly used to compare products and is the value printed on the product.
