What is faced polyisocyanurate?
About Polyiso Insulation Polyiso is a rigid foam insulation used in more than 70% of commercial roof construction and offers a continuous insulation solution for commercial and residential wall assemblies.
Is foil faced insulation better?
Foil faced insulation is the best type of insulation for retaining heat in the winter and keeping heat out in the summer. This insulation product is designed to slow heat transfer and enhance acoustical performance. It also works as a barrier for methane, radon, vapor, termites and other vermin.
Is foil faced rigid insulation a vapor barrier?
Rigid foam board, especially foil-faced polyisocyanurate, creates a vapor-impermeable barrier, so the wall would have limited drying potential. Even more permeable types of insulation, such as expanded polystyrene, are vapor barriers when the installation is thick enough.

|---|---|---|
| 1.0 | 6.2 | 1.08 |
| 1.5 | 9.3 | 1.62 |
| 2.0 | 12.4 | 2.16 |

How much R-value does polyiso lose?
Polyiso, it turns out, can lose as much as 25% of its R-value when the temperature drops.
Is foil faced foam board a vapor barrier?
Both paper (called kraft paper) and foil faces offer vapor barrier properties. Paper and foil-faced insulation, plus gypsum board and certain latex paints, work well together as a team to stop moisture migration.
Which way should foil-faced insulation face?
The reflective side of the board should be oriented to the exterior and the non- reflective white side should be oriented to the interior. EXCEPTION: If vinyl siding is to be installed over AP™ Foil- Faced sheathing, install foam boards with the white nonreflective side toward the vinyl siding.
Can you layer polyiso insulation?
Multiple layering of the polyiso can add to the benefits of a multi-layered system in both fully mopped systems and systems that have the first layer of insulation mechanically fastened with successive layers mopped or adhered.
Can you put plasterboard over foil insulation?
Installing Plasterboard When SuperQuilt is installed as the most internal insulation layer, there is no requirement for a foiled-back plasterboard. SuperQuilt will work as a high performing Vapour Control Layer, when taped and sealed using Thermaseal Foil Tape.
