| XPS Boards | Exterior walls, roofs, below-grade insulation | - Thermal Resistance: Industry Standard (R-5.0/inch), Our Base (R-5.0/inch), Our Advanced (R-5.5/inch ▲) (ASTM C578) - Moisture Resistance: 0.2 perm (Industry/Our Base), 0.1 perm (Advanced ▲) (ASTM E96) | - High R-value for superior insulation - Moisture-resistant for wet environments - CE-certified fire safety (Class B/Advanced: Class A ▲) | - Higher cost than EPS - Non-recyclable - Environmental concerns with production |
| EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) | Interior walls, temporary structures | - Thermal Resistance: R-4.0/inch (ASTM C578) - Moisture Resistance: 1.0 perm (ASTM E96) | - Cost-effective - Lightweight and easy to cut - CE-certified fire safety (Class C) | - Susceptible to moisture - Lower R-value than XPS - Not suitable for wet areas |
| Fiberglass Insulation | Attics, interior walls, HVAC ducts | - Thermal Resistance: R-3.1–3.3/inch (ASTM C578) - Fire Resistance: Non-combustible (ASTM E84) | - Fire-resistant - Eco-friendly (recyclable) - Flexible installation options | - Requires vapor barrier - Lower R-value than XPS/EPS - Degrades if exposed to moisture |
| Mineral Wool (Rockwool) | Firewalls, soundproofing, high-heat areas | - Thermal Resistance: R-3.9/inch (ASTM C578) - Acoustic Performance: STC 40+ (ASTM E413) | - Excellent fire and sound insulation - Moisture-resistant (0.0 perm) - Non-combustible | - Heavy and bulky - Higher cost than fiberglass - Itchy to handle without PPE |
| Polyurethane Foam | Roofs, industrial insulation, refrigeration | - Thermal Resistance: R-6.7/inch (ASTM C578) - Moisture Resistance: 0.0 perm (closed-cell) (ASTM E96) | - Highest R-value among options - Waterproof and long-lasting - Dimensionally stable (<0.1% expansion) | - High cost (50% more than XPS) - Requires professional installation - Environmental concerns with blowing agents |
| Aerated Concrete | Structural walls, foundations, sound barriers | - Thermal Resistance: R-0.8/inch (ASTM C578) - Strength: 1000–3000 psi (ASTM C559) | - Combines insulation with structural integrity - Fire-resistant and sound-dampening - Thermal mass for temperature regulation | - Heavy and inflexible - High initial cost - Limited adaptability for non-structural uses |
