FOAMULAR® & FOAMULAR® NGX®
COMPREHENSIVE PORTFOLIO, COMPLETE PROTECTION
FOAMULAR® insulation is available in a wide range of thicknesses, sizes and strengths to meet nearly any project application need. From green roofs that require special strength and moisture resistance to keeping foundations protected from the cycles of the seasons, you’ll find a FOAMULAR® insulation product designed for the coverage and performance your projects demand.
Commercial applications for xps insulation
Strength that lets designs flourish
Vegetative roof assemblies (VRAs) are both beautiful and functional. Whether designed to meet building codes, provide a refuge for wildlife, or as spaces for outdoor leisure, VRAs require careful design and materials that can resist severe exposure and extreme pressures. See why FOAMULAR® XPS insulation is the gold standard of insulation for VRAs using PRMA (Protected Roof Membrane Assembly) design.
VRAs can store stormwater for later use or capture and slowly release it to reduce runoff, contributing to sustainable design and helping to meet local regulations. FOAMULAR® XPS foam boards are moisture resistant and helps protect the membrane below from thermal expansion, contraction, and exposure to damage.
With a variety of compressive strengths available up to 100 PSI, FOAMULAR® XPS insulation stands up to the weight of growing media, pavers, water, plants, trees, and even car and truck traffic on plaza decks.
FOAMULAR® XPS has high thermal performance — R-5 per inch — adding to your building’s insulation performance and energy savings.
Made from recycled content and contributing to building certifications, FOAMULAR® XPS insulation complements the sustainable profile of VRAs. FOAMULAR® NGX™ XPS is an even more sustainable option, made with a blowing agent formulation that delivers a 90% reduction in global warming potential.1
Making construction even more efficient and durable
Insulated concrete construction, such as precast, site-cast, and tilt-up, delivers an affordable, efficient, and sustainable option for commercial building design. FOAMULAR® XPS insulation complements that efficiency, for designs that are as functional as they are innovative.
FOAMULAR® XPS panels can be sandwiched between the interior concrete wythe and exterior fascia wythe, eliminating the need for furring. Walls are erected with insulation already in place
When used between wythes, FOAMULAR® XPS functions as continuous insulation to meet energy code standards and reduce energy loss through the exterior wall with less site construction time.
Lifting and setting pre-cast panels is a tricky business. FOAMULAR® XPS delivers high-compressive strength without adding significant weight to panels.
Compliant with ASTM E119 Fire Resistance Rated Wall Assemblies, FOAMULAR® XPS is a great fit with the inherently fire-resistant profile of pre-cast concrete.
Supporting the foundation of a great design
For engineered applications requiring additional load-resistance capabilities, FOAMULAR® delivers high strength and durability. Under roadways, runways, and in building foundations, FOAMULAR® provides reliable R-Values and stability in challenging environments and under high structural demands.
FOAMULAR® resists taking on moisture in geotechnical applications, maintaining R-Values even after decades of use.
FOAMULAR® provides higher thermal performance and moisture resistance than EPS, allowing less product consumption and more efficient installation.
FOAMULAR® is found under some of the most demanding geotechnical designs —runways, roadways, rail beds, and more — stands up to extreme conditions, providing a limited lifetime warranty.
Geotechnical applications are designed to take on high loads and stress. FOAMULAR® stands up to the challenge with available strengths up to 100 psi and superior dimensional stability.
