Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) is the most effective thermal insulation because of its inert properties:
EPS has no nutritional value for plants, animals or micro-organisms. It will not rot and is highly resistant to mildew. EPS will not decompose or decay and its R-Value will not decrease with age. Unlike batt insulation, there is no sagging or settling. EPS offers the lowest cost per unit of R-Value compared to any other insulation material. No additional framing is necessary so thermal bridging is minimal. When done in conjunction with other scheduled maintenance or rehabilitation, insulation is a cost-effective way to improve the building envelope performance in terms of conductive heat loss or gain and air infiltration or exfiltration. In the case of un-insulated basements, the addition of interior insulation also makes basement space more comfortable and useable. Save Money: Significantly reduces energy consumption Highest R-Value available in an insulation system The R-Value of EPS will not decrease with age Inhibits air infiltration It's Easy: Faster and easier to install than other insulation systems For new construction or do-it-yourself renovations Built-in fastening system is superior to systems applied with adhesives Levels surfaces for finishing Built-in rainscreen It's Safe: No health risks in installation and use No CFCs, HCFCs. EPS will not mold, decay or rot Modified EPS includes a fire retardant How it Works
R-ETRO Ties are fastened to the existing building with screws at *4" [**0mm] centers*. EPS Panels are fit over the tie flanges and another row of R-ETRO Ties are placed in the tops of the panels at *4" [**0mm]. Panels can be easily cut around openings and protrusions from the building. Finish materials can be applied directly to the R-ETRO System or furring strips can be applied to the surface of the panels prior to finishing.
