The Type 4 extruded polystyrene foam insulation helps protect foundation damp-proofing and waterproofing, especially during backfilling and provides a secondary barrier against groundwater leakage.
STYROFOAM™ Brand SM Insulation also provides energy-efficient performance in many other types of commercial and residential applications, including attics and ceilings.

(1) Not all product sizes are available in all regions. (2) R means resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value or RSI (R-Value Système Internationale), the greater the insulating power. R-values are expressed in ft2• h•°F/Btu. RSI values are expressed in m2 °C/W. R-value determined by ASTM C518. (3) Vertical compressive strength is measured at 10% deformation or at yield, whichever occurs first. |
