How to Use Rigid Board Insulation
Rigid board insulation is available in three primary types: extruded polystyrene, expanded polystyrene, and polyisocyanurate, which are typically used in roofing, wall, floor and below grade applications in all climate zones and construction types.
Rigid Board Insulation R-Values
Rigid boards provide R-values ranging from R-3.2 per inch to R-7 per inch and have a variety of thicknesses. To determine the thickness that needs to be installed, it’s important to know the recommended R-value for your area. This helps prevent heat from transferring through. The higher the R-value for your area, the thicker the insulation needs to be. (R-value requirements are governed by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) in each state or municipality. Please check with your AHJ to determine the correct code for your area.)
