This product is available in a wide range board sizes and densities that meet or exceed the requirements of ASTM C578, Standard Speciﬁ cation for Rigid, Cellular Polystyrene Thermal Insulation. InsulFoam Flat offers a long-term, stable R-value and offers excellent dimensional stability, compressive strength, and water resistance. Features and Beneﬁ ts »Labor and cost savings: no complicated ﬁ ller panel systems; can be installed in a single layer for thicknesses up to 40" »Environmentally friendly: contains no ozone-depleting blowing agents, may contain recycled material, and is 100% recyclable if removed or replaced »Stable R-value: thermal properties will remain stable over the material’s entire service life, no thermal drift »Moisture and mold resistance: does not readily absorb moisture from the environment, does not sustain mold or mildew growth »Proven performance: manufactured using the same chemistry since the mid-1950s »Variety of compressive strengths: available in more compressive strengths than comparable insulation products Panel Characteristics InsulFoam is available in 4' x 4' (1220 mm x 1220 mm) and 4' x 8' (1220 mm x 2440 mm) standard sizes and thickness from ¼" to 40". Custom lengths, widths, and densities are available with minimal lead time. Applications InsulFoam Flat is well-suited for a variety of single-ply roof systems, including EPDM, TPO, and PVC, and assembly types, including ballasted, mechanically fastened, and fully adhered. Consult Carlisle Speciﬁ cations and Details for more information. Installation Considerations 1. Install only as much insulation as can be covered by a roof membrane system, and/or made watertight by the end of each day. 2. InsulFoam Flat should not be exposed directly to solvent- or petroleum-based adhesives and sealants. 3. Allow approximately a ¼" space between insulation and vertical surfaces or roof projections. Do not force or jam product into place. 4. In re-cover applications, ensure no moisture is trapped in the new or existing rooﬁ ng system. Loose-Laid Insulation Install InsulFoam Flat with continuous side joints and end joints, staggered so they are offset by a minimum of 12" from the end joints in adjacent rows. Insulation should abut tightly against adjacent boards. Joints greater than ½" should be ﬁ lled with the same insulation that is being used in the ﬁ eld of the roof. If insulation is being installed over a thermal barrier or existing layer of insulation, or under a cover board, all joints must be offset a minimum of 6" between layers. When installing InsulFoam Flat directly to a metal deck, the edges of the insulation parallel to the deck ribs must be solidly supported and centered on the ribs. Additionally, for metal decks, ensure that the insulation has a thickness that is adequate to span the rib openings. When conditions dictate, in order to prevent wind blow-off or damage during installation, loose-laid insulation should be weighed down or tacked into place with a minimal quantity of mechanical fasteners.
