Styrofoam as roof insulation.
After it is laid on ceiling material plywood or other materials can be placed over it.
Available in flat and tapered board stock the rigid foam insulation boards can be installed directly on structural steel decks beneath a nonbituminous sheet membrane eliminating the need for a thermal barrier.
One common use of extruded polystyrene foam board is for foundation insulation panels.
Foil insulation is a radiant barrier and it works by.
It can be applied on the roof floor and walls and it s most widely used in structural insulated panels and insulated concrete forms.
Shingles are then able to be installed over that.
It is available in all different size configurations to accommodate lots of different applications.
It is designed for use in fully adhered conventional low slope roof applications.
Eps is also the most inexpensive of the three types of rigid foam insulation while also meeting the required building and energy codes.
Eps is by far the most versatile of the three rigid insulation options.
Engineered for use on heavyweight decks e g.
Foil insulation underlayment is recommended under a metal roof and in most cases the shiny side should be facing up but there s a catch.
This is an even more dense and more expensive foam board insulation.
