Foam Board / Continuous Insulation

Johns Manville Polyiso foam continuous insulation boards provide a layer of insulation to reduce thermal bridging and improve energy efficiency. Polyiso consists of a uniform closed-cell polyisocyanurate foam core and provides one of the highest R-values per inch of any rigid insulation.

AP Foil-Faced Foam Continuous Insulation

With exceptional heat, moisture and air control, Johns Manville AP™ Foil-Faced Polyiso Foam Sheathing eliminates all major thermal bridges that cause heat loss when installed correctly.

Data Sheet

SDS

Product Guide

Johns Manville AP™ Foil-Faced Polyiso Foam Sheathing boards are available in R-Values up to R-28 and offer a reflective foil facer on one side and a non-reflective facer on the other. AP Foil provides exceptional heat, moisture and air control and, when installed correctly, eliminates all major thermal bridges that cause heat loss. The rigid continuous insulation board allows for maximum wall and worksite efficieny.

Advantages

Thermally Efficient: Effective resistance to heat transfer, with R-values up to R-28.
Water-Resistive Barrier: Meets the ICC-ES AC71 acceptance criteria.
Vapor Barrier: Class I vapor retarder at one inch.
Air Barrier: Meets the Air Barrier Association of America boardstock criteria, when properly installed.
Lightweight: Easy to handle and may be cut with a utility knife or saw.

AP Foil25 Polyiso Continuous Insulation

Johns Manville AP™ Foil25 Polyiso Continuous Insulation is a 25-psi compressive strength board that consists of a closed-cell polyisocyanurate foam core bonded on each side to a foil facer.

Data Sheet

Johns Manville AP^™ Foil25 Polyiso Continuous Insulation is a 25-psi compressive strength board that consists of a closed-cell polyisocyanurate foam core bonded on each side to a foil facer. AP Foil25 is well suited for below-grade residential applications, as well as commercial applications where higher compressive strength boards are preferred for certain exterior cladding systems. AP Foil25 is a water-resistive barrier, vapor barrier and air barrier all in one.

Advantages

Thermally efficient: Inch for inch, polyiso has one of the highest energy efficiencies
Water-resistive barrier: Meets ICC-ES AC71 acceptance criteria
Vapor barrier: Class I vapor retarder
Air barrier: Meets the Air Barrier Association of America boardstock criteria when properly installed
Noncorrosive: Does not accelerate corrosion of pipes, wiring or metal studs
