Introduction

Today, the most common insulation material used in most homes is foam. This type of insulation offers a lot of advantages over other options, but it also has some significant drawbacks. Polyisocyanurate insulation is a newer type of material that can be used in place of traditional foam. It offers many benefits, including increased energy efficiency and better protection from fire and water damage than traditional foam. The cost is lower too! This article will explore how polyisocyanurate wall panels are better than traditional foam insulation board materials.

Introduction

Polyisocyanurate insulation is a type of rigid foam insulation that has been gaining popularity over the years. It’s used in many different types of buildings, from homes to schools, as well as commercial structures. The main benefit of polyisocyanurate is that it’s able to keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. In addition, polyisocyanurate walls are resistant against mold and mildew growth because they don’t absorb moisture like other types of insulation do.

What Are Polyisocyanurate Foams?

Polyisocyanurate foams are typically made from urea-formaldehyde resins and melamine resins mixed together with water using high temperatures and pressure until it becomes solidified into sheets or boards known as ‘polyiso’. These sheets can then be cut into any desired shape before being installed inside homes where they provide excellent thermal resistance without losing their strength despite long periods under extreme conditions such as those found within a home’s attic area where temperatures can reach up towards 120 degrees Farenheit during summer months while dropping down below zero during winter months making this material perfect for keeping both sides covered at all times no matter what season it may be.”

Why is Polyisocyanurate better than traditional foam?

When it comes to insulation, polyisocyanurate walls are better than traditional foam for many reasons. They’re more durable, fire resistant, resistant to mold and pests, and resist water damage from leaks or dampness.

One of the main reasons that polyisocyanurate is more durable and resists fire damage is because of its low flammability rating. Polyurethane foams have a very high flammability rating which makes them dangerous in an area prone to fire such as a kitchen or living room. Polyurethane foams are also prone to emitting toxic fumes when they burn which can harm both people and pets in your home if there is ever an accidental fire inside your home.

Benefits of using Polyisocyanurate Insulation

• Polyisocyanurate insulation is a better insulator than foam insulation

One of the most common questions we hear about polyiso is why it’s more efficient than other insulation materials. Polyiso is often compared to fiberglass, which has been used for decades as a popular material for home insulations. When comparing the R-value of these two materials, one can see that polyiso has an R-value of 3.2 per inch while fiberglass only has an R-value of 2.5 per inch (when installed in walls). This means that when comparing equal thicknesses, you get more thermal resistance from your wall with polyisocyanurate foam than with any other type or brand of insulation material out there. This also makes sense since you don’t have to take into consideration any moisture issues when installing this type of product inside your walls!

Where can you use Polyisocyanurate insulation?

Polyisocyanurate insulation is used in residential, commercial and industrial buildings. It is also used in the construction of high-rise buildings because it has a high R-value per inch (R=5) and is resistant to fire.

It is manufactured using polymeric polyurethane with carbon dioxide as a blowing agent. It forms a rigid foam that can be cut with a knife after curing at room temperature for an hour or two. Polyisocyanurate insulations are not affected by mildew, rot or decay due to their chemical properties that make them more durable than other types of insulation materials

Summary

Polyisocyanurate is the best insulation material for your home. It is a better alternative to foam because it offers all of these benefits:

• The best insulator
• A great fire retardant
• A great sound barrier/soundproofing wall material
• Great moisture barrier that prevents mold and mildew growth in the house

Polyisocyanurate will be the best alternative to foams for all your home insulation needs in the future.

Polyisocyanurate is a great insulation material that can be used as an alternative to traditional foam. Polyisocyanurate is an excellent alternative to traditional foam for all your home insulation needs in the future.

The benefits of polyisocyanurate are numerous: Polyisocyanurate provides the best performance compared with other insulations available on the market today. This material has been proven through many scientific studies, which have shown that this type of insulation provides better protection against heat and moisture than traditional foams.
