2. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

   This is important if space is limited, because it allows a thinner layer of insulation to be used. For example, a 1-inch layer of closed-cell foam provides about the same insulation factor as 2 inches of open-cell foam. Closed-cell foam is very strong, and structurally reinforces the insulated surface.

3. Rigid panel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_panel

   A multi-family residential building under construction with rigid panel exterior insulating sheathing. Rigid panel insulation, also referred to as continuous insulation, [1] can be made from foam plastics such as polyurethane (PUR), polyisocyanurate (PIR), and polystyrene, or from fibrous materials such as fiberglass, rock and slag wool.

4. Styrofoam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Styrofoam

   Styrofoam insulation extruded polystyrene foam (XPS), owned and manufactured by DuPont. Styrofoam is a genericized trademarked brand of closed-cell extruded polystyrene foam (XPS), manufactured to provide continuous building insulation board used in walls, roofs, and foundations as thermal insulation and as a water barrier.

5. Polyisocyanurate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyisocyanurate

   PIR is typically produced as a foam and used as rigid thermal insulation. Its thermal conductivity has a typical value of 0.023 W/(m·K) (0.16 BTU·in/(hr·ft 2 ·°F)) depending on the perimeter:area ratio. [3] PIR foam panels laminated with pure embossed aluminium foil are used for fabrication of pre-insulated duct that is used for heating ...

6. Insulated siding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulated_siding

   Producers report an average R-value of 2.0 - 5.5, significantly more than that of other siding products including fiber cement, brick and stucco. Homeowners also report insulated siding serves as a noise barrier to external sound. Insulated vinyl siding with added fan fold foam board insulation raises the R-value to 3.5 - 7.5.

7. Spray foam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spray_foam

   Spray foam insulation or spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is an alternative to traditional building insulation such as fiberglass. A two-component mixture composed of isocyanate and polyol resin comes together at the tip of a gun, and forms an expanding foam that is sprayed onto roof tiles, concrete slabs, into wall cavities, or through holes ...
