No other ridged board insulation gives your customer as much R-value per dollar as Cellofoam® EPS. It's the best insulation value on the market. But the good news doesn't stop there.

Cellofoam EPS insulation performs. It's R-value is stable and predictable; it won't drift down as the years pass. Plus Cellofoam has the compressive strength and the inherent moisture resistance to withstand forces that can destroy other insulation products.

Cellofoam EPS is easily trimmed with hand tools to fit your specific application, yet it has the strength to absorb normal job site abuse.

   

[Bullet] Design Values of Cellofoam EPS


Density: 1.0 pcf (normal)

R-Value*: 3.85 @ 75º F

Compressive Strength: 10 - 14 psi

Flexural Strength: 25 - 30 psi

Water Vapor Transmission Rate: 2.0 - 5.0 perm-inches

Water Absorption: Less Than 4.0% by Volume

Oxygen Index: 24%

*R-Value is the resistance to heat flow.

The higher the R-Value, the greater the insulating power.

 

All EPS insulation products manufactured by Cellofoam North America Inc meet applicable standards including:

[Bullet] ASTM C578-92 (formerly HH - 1 - 524C)

[Bullet] HUD/FHA Use of Material, Bulletin #71

[Bullet] ICBO

[Bullet] BOCA

[Bullet] SBCCI

[Bullet] Underwriters Laboratories Inc.

Technical Data Sheet

Warning: This product is combustible and if exposed to a fire of sufficient heat and intensity may burn rapidly. It should not be left exposed or inadequately protected. Consult specific instructions for use accompanying this product.


[Bullet] Provides a Flush Surface for Residing Materials

[Bullet] Cut & Fold

Cellofoam's FAN-FOLD is cut in vertical 2' increments along it's 4' X 24' or 50' expanse allowing the panels to lie flat, which eliminates the potential for "oil canning" or "telescoping".

 

[Bullet] Shrink Wrapped 2 Units Per Bundle.

[Bullet] Priced Lower Than Extruded

[Bullet] Pre-Printed Nailing & Alignment Format

Our FAN-FOLD makes finding nailing locations & aligning sheets a snap with pre-printed black lines crossing at 16" centers & vertically every 8", as well as gray lines every 2".

 

[Bullet] Lightweight, Easy to Install and Abuse Resistant

 

FAN-FOLD Leveling Board - The high efficiency low-cost insulation

FAN-FOLD is made of Cellofoam Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) insulation material faced with a tough, poly laminate on both sides. This leveling board, when installed has an air space between existing siding and new exterior siding, which keeps cold out, and heat stays in.

FAN-FOLD insulating leveling board, with millions of closed cells of expanded polystyrene, has excellent resistance to heat transfer and is a major factor in the new wall system to meet today's standards for saving energy.

Durability

FAN-FOLD Leveling Board when properly installed doesn't deteriorate with age, is resistant to mildew, rot, fungus, bacteria, and doesn't require maintenance. The tough facing resists abuse during construction and prior to the installation of siding material.


[Bullet] Insulate the entire frame wall

Cellofoam offers you superior choices for your sheathing/underlayment needs; POLY SHIELD®, faced with white polyethylene or SUPER-SHEATH, faced with reflective aluminum foil. The Cellofoam expanded polystyrene insulation base of these products delivers excellent resistance to heat transfer and is a major factor in the wall system to meet today's standards for saving energy. The kraft liner board, bonded between the poly or foil and the EPS, reinforces both materials increasing the overall strength of the product for durability during the installation process.

POLY SHIELD or SUPER-SHEATH will accept a wide variety of siding, exterior finishes and are applicable to both new construction as well as remodeling. POLY SHIELD or SUPER-SHEATH will not deteriorate with age, and are resistant to mildew, rot, fungus and bacteria.


[Bullet] Warm up masonry walls and floors

CELLOFOAM EPS insulation has the compressive strength and the moisture resistance for unequalled long-term performance in demanding below-grade applications such as sub-slab and perimeter foundations. CELLOFOAM EPS significantly reduces heat loss through concrete floors and walls. CELLOFOAM EPS is resistant to common soil acids and decay and is easily installed with spot adhesives, fasteners or wall ties.

CELLOFOAM EPS resists moisture and increases thermal performance in cavity wall applications while reducing basement heating requirements.


[Bullet] Drop in a new ceiling

POLY-TILE EPS drop-in ceiling panels are the most economical on the market. These attractive, reversible panels also add insulation value and are FM-approved. Because they are designed to be heat sensitive, promptly moving out of their setting, they will not significantly interfere with the operation of automatic sprinklers located above. When other building components and occupancy do not require sprinkler protection, POLY-TILE may be used without creating such a need.

POLY-TILE ceiling panels are 2' x 4' and come in 1/2", 3/4", and 1" thickness. They can be used with any grid system and are easily cut and trimmed with a knife. They can be cleaned with soap and water.


[Bullet] Air out the attic

PERMA-VENT EPS ventilation channels let fresh air move from soffit to attic through the thickest application of loose-fill or blanket insulation. Helps cool in summer, removes damaging moisture in winter.

PERMA-VENT keeps loose fill insulation from closing off soffit vents and helps eliminate the problem of snow or ice dams.

Ready-to-use in lengths of 4' for rafters 16" or 24" o.c., light-weight PERMA-VENT channels attach quickly and easily with staples.


[Bullet] Insulate those walls

POLY PANEL EPS insulation is pre-cut to fit between 3/4" thick furring strips. Ideal for basement walls because it insulates and minimizes that "damp basement" feeling. Requires no separate vapor barrier. Also helps deaden sound.

Boards of POLY PANEL EPS trim with a knife and can be held in place by friction fit or with latex adhesive mastic. Drywall goes on top and nails to furring strips or applied with mastic. Sizes 13 5/8" x 48" (1 x 3 furring, 16" o.c.) and 14 1/2" x 48" (for furring, 16" o.c.).

Attractively packaged in poly bags with complete installation instructions for the do-it-yourselfer or builder.
