Find the Right Material for Your Project

Commercial roofing systems typically combine rigid foam insulation with a waterproof roofing membrane. The insulation provides thermal performance, while the membrane protects the building from weather.

Common materials:

• Polyiso Insulation
• Roofing Membranes
• TPO Roofing Membrane A reflective roofing membrane commonly installed on warehouses, retail buildings, schools, and office buildings. Learn More About TPO.
• PVC Roofing Membrane Often selected for buildings where chemical resistance and long-term durability are important. Learn More About PVC.
• EPDM Roofing Membrane A durable rubber roofing membrane commonly used on low-slope commercial roofing projects. Learn More About EPDM.

Typical projects include:

• Office buildings
• Warehouses
• Manufacturing facilities
• Schools
• Hospitals
• Retail centers
• Distribution centers

Rigid foam insulation is commonly used throughout residential construction to improve energy efficiency and reduce thermal bridging.

Typical applications include:

• Exterior walls
• Interior walls
• Attics
• Cathedral ceilings
• Between wall studs
• Crawlspaces
• Garages

Common materials:

• Polyiso
• XPS
• EPS

Rigid foam insulation is a popular choice for pole barns and agricultural buildings because it is lightweight, easy to install, and provides excellent thermal performance. 

Typical applications include:

• Walls
• Ceilings
• Roof systems

Recommended materials

• Polyiso
• XPS

Rigid foam insulation is frequently installed in pre-engineered steel buildings to improve occupant comfort and reduce energy costs.

Typical applications include:

• Exterior walls
• Roof systems
• Interior ceilings

Recommended materials

• Polyiso
• XPS

Several rigid foam products are designed for applications below grade where moisture resistance and durability are important.

Typical applications include:

• Foundation walls
• Basement walls
• Basement floors
• Under concrete slabs
• Crawlspaces

Recommended materials

• XPS
• EPS

Rigid foam insulation is commonly installed beneath heated concrete slabs to improve system efficiency and reduce heat loss into the ground.

Typical applications include:

• Residential slabs
• Commercial slabs
• Warehouses
• Garages

Recommended materials

• XPS
• EPS

Cold storage facilities require insulation that helps maintain interior temperatures while improving overall energy efficiency.

Typical projects include:

• Refrigerated warehouses
• Food processing facilities
• Coolers
• Freezers

Common materials

• Polyiso
• EPS

Rigid foam insulation is commonly incorporated into several advanced building systems.

Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs)

- EPS serves as the insulating core of many ICF wall systems.

Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs)

- EPS is commonly used in SIP wall and roof panels for residential and commercial construction.

Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS)

- EPS insulation is frequently used beneath EIFS cladding systems to improve thermal performance while providing a durable finished exterior.

Rigid foam insulation is also used in a variety of civil and infrastructure applications. 

Typical applications include:

• Pipe insulation
• Utility trenches
• Frost protection
• Earth stabilization

Recommended material

• XPS
