Thermafiber® RainBarrier® ci High Compressive | Owens Corning Insulation

Thermafiber® RainBarrier® ci High Compressive continuous insulation boards are designed to support cladding attachment with minimal penetrations. The use of ThermaCrimp™ technology allows for excellent compressive strength while providing thermal efficiency, non-combustibility, water repellency, and flexibility when working with uneven substrates.

RainBarrier® ci High Compressive (80) can be used behind light weight
cladding — including combustible and open-joint assemblies.

RainBarrier® ci High Compressive Plus (110) can be used behind medium-weight cladding types — including combustible and open-joint assemblies.

RainBarrier® ci High Compressive Max (140) can be used behind heavy-weight cladding types — including combustible and open-joint assemblies.
