DuroSpan® Insulation | Plasti-Fab EPS Product Solutions

Our DuroSpan product shown with hotspots that provide additional information.

DuroSpan insulation is a Type 1, closed cell and moisture resistant insulation with a green film laminated to one side, and a silver film on the other side. With an R-value of 3.75 per inch, DuroSpan insulation is ideal for adding energy efficiency and cost savings to any project. It is easy to install and can be used in many applications; exterior sheathing, continuous insulation, basement floor, under slab insulation and cathedral ceilings. The addition of the laminated film to the top and bottom surfaces of DuroSpan insulation board provides a more durable product that is less susceptible to damage.

The reflective facer on DuroSpan insulation contains a thin layer of foil embedded within the film. The reflective facer does not increase the R-value of DuroSpan insulation (for additional information see Plasti-Fab PIB 253 - Facts About Thermal Resistance of Reflective Insulation).

DuroSpan insulation complies with the requirements of CAN ULC S701.1, Standard for Thermal Insulation, Polystyrene, Boards and Pipe Covering, the National Standard of Canada for expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation.
