FlexxBoard25 is a rigid foam insulation board that offers enhanced performance compared to XPS (Extruded Polystyrene) boards at a more affordable price. When utilized beneath concrete, FlexxBoard25 creates a strong bond with the concrete, establishing a superior thermal barrier that effectively reduces concrete shifting and heaving.
Benefits
-
FlexxBoard25 offers many advantages at a lower cost than the competition:
- Energy efficiency
- Helps eliminate frost heaving and concrete cracking
- Increases the structural integrity of concrete in both interior and exterior applications
- Bonds to concrete and will not separate like other foam products
- Moisture, mold and mildew resistant
- Will not rot, deteriorate or degrade over time, sustaining its R-Value
- Environmentally conscious formula uses a smaller portion of petroleum to make compared to other foam products
- Made of non-toxic materials that do not off-gas like other foam products
- Superior dimensional stability assures structure remains tight and energy efficient over life of building
- Acts as sound deadening, quiet barrier
-
FlexxBoard25 is the perfect foam insulation board to use above or below ground:
- Under-Slab Thermal Barrier – When used as a thermal barrier before pouring concrete, FlexxBoard25 bonds to concrete – reducing heat loss and helping to prevent possible frost heaving. It helps extend the life of concrete driveways, sidewalks, patios, basements, shop and garage slabs, and basements.
- In-floor Heating – FlexxBoard25 can be used as a thermal barrier beneath concrete slabs when installing radiant floor heating systems – preventing heat loss to the ground while promoting even heating.
- Perimeter Insulation – When used around the perimeter of a poured concrete or block wall foundation, FlexxBoard25 prevents heat loss. In shallow foundation designs, using FlexxBoard25 around the perimeter of a poured concrete slab will help prevent frost penetration and frost heaves.
- Custom Fill Applications – FlexxBoard25 is simple to use in structural fill applications – custom shapes can be fabricated by LiteForm or be delivered in blocks and fabricated on site.
- Roof Applications – FlexxBoard25 is an exceptional insulator and fill material for all roofing applications.
Frost Protection that Bonds to Concrete!
FlexxBoard25 establishes a robust bond with concrete, enhancing the durability and strength of the insulation. This foam material is resistant to rotting or deterioration when exposed to outdoor elements.
In contrast, other colored foam boards like extruded Polystyrene are prone to detachment from concrete due to their smooth surface finish. This separation can lead to a reduction in the material's insulation effectiveness over time, potentially necessitating concrete replacement in the future.
