InsulFoam Flat EPS
Overview
Carlisle’s InsulFoam Flat EPS is a rigid insulation board composed of
closed-cell, lightweight expanded polystyrene (EPS). 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.
