Thermafiber® VersaBoard® multi-purpose insulation provides an outstanding combination of fire-resistive characteristics, acoustical and thermal performance, moisture resistance, and energy conservation for various commercial construction applications. These products are great for surfaces that require insulation for thermal and acoustical performance, including but not limited to parking garage under decking and mechanical rooms. VersaBoard® insulation is not listed by UL® or Intertek® for use in fire-rated systems.
