Selection tip for continuous insulation (ci):
It shouldn't burn!
Unlike rigid foam, non-combustible Thermafiber RainBarrier provides thermal AND fire protection in rain screen/cavity wall construction.
LIFE SAFETY
RainBarrier insulation remains intact at 2,080° F, even after 5 hours of testing. (Rigid foam melts at 300° F.)
SUSTAINABILITY
RainBarrier is made of 70% to 90% recycled materials. (Rigid foam includes no more than 40% recycled content.)
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
RainBarrier provides equal or better R-value (up to 4.2/inch) for less than the price of rigid foam and contributes to 33 LEED® credits.
