Owens Corning FOAMULAR 250 Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) Insulation is a closed cell, moisture-resistant rigid foam board well suited to meet the needs for a wide variety of building applications. FOAMULAR 250 XPS insulation is great for many residential and commercial construction applications such as wall furring, perimeter/foundation, cavity wall, pre-cast concrete, under slab, crawl spaces, sheathing and other applications.
Features
• Excellent long-term stable insulating performance at R-51 per inch
• Exceptional moisture resistance, long-term durability
• Lightweight, durable rigid foam panels are easy to handle and install
• Easy to saw, cut or score
Applications
• Slows the transmission of water vapor and moisture in masonry walls
• Provides continuous insulation over wood or steel stud framing, in insulated concrete sandwich panel walls, in masonry unit cavity walls, or when used with non-penetrating, surface mounted furring systems over masonry or concrete walls
• Insulates and retains its properties in below grade perimeter and foundation applications, or directly beneath the concrete slab to complement the insulating sheathing envelope around the building framing
• FOAMULAR 250 XPS insulation is great for below grade applications. FOAMULAR XPS insulation is resistant to degradation from the components of common soils
and will retain its insulating performance characteristics even after prolonged exposure to moisture
• Provides a weather resistant barrier (when joints are sealed) to enhance the building’s resistance to air and moisture penetration
