SilveRboard Reflective Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Rigid Flat Sheet Insulation

Overview

SilveRboard is a high performance flat-sheet insulation material made from BASF® Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) which is coated with a layer of reflective lamination on both sides. This highly effective combination of materials offers a higher r-value per inch compared to traditional flat-sheet insulation as well as provides built-in moisture and air barriers which eliminate the need for house wrap.

SilveRboard offers users a higher performance product which increases jobsite efficiency and reduces labor costs.
