In fact the 20 2 psi value is beyond the elastic range of the eps material and long term creep effects must be taken into account when using that design approach.

Rigid foam is produced in various size panels 4 ft x 8 ft 4ft x 4ft etc.
The existing standard of 4 percent which would allow a 96 inch board to expand contract 3 13 16inches.
The minimum insulation requirements for ceilings walls floors and foundations in new homes as listed in the 2009 2012 2015 and 2018 iecc and irc can be found in this table additional code requirements are listed on the compliance tab of this guide.
With an r value of 5 0 per inch of thickness the board increases the energy efficiency of your structures.
Grading the isocyanurate by compressive strength grade 1 compressive strength is minimum 16 psi grade 2 is minimum 20 psi and grade 3 is minimum 25 psi.
Astm c1289 type ii class 2 grade 2 20 psi or grade 3 25 psi can ulc s704 type 2 class 3 or type 3 class 3.
After the roof deck is prepared the rigid foam boards need to be cut to size to fit snugly together on your roof.
These values are in reference to mechanically attached insulation cover boards under.
Plus it s light weight easy to handle and easy to cut with a knife.
Exceptionally high compressive strength improves overall roof system performance cement board is able to withstand prolonged exposure to moisture and is ideal for systems where wind uplift and puncture resistance are a concern.
Greenguard type vi 40 psi insulation board is designed for use in high load applications requiring compressive strength up to 40 psi.
Rigid foam boards and are made.
Eps foam insulation may experience dimensional and property changes when it is exposed to temperatures greater than 167 f.
Meet can ulc s126 can ulc s101 and can ulc s107.
Minimum slope of per foot as required by the international building code ibc toward roof.
The panels need to fit together tightly to help prevent warm air from leaving the top of the building.
Meets the requirements of astm c 1325.
In roofing type i eps material provides the dimensional stability and compressive strength necessary to withstand light roof traffic and equipment weight at reasonably high surface temperatures.
