Insulation Boards
UNIQUE BENEFITS FOR INSULATION BOARD SUBSTRATE ROOFS
Moisture Intrusion Resistance
Polyurethane coatings provide unique benefits for insulation boards by preventing moisture intrusion. Insulation boards are becoming more common in use on roofing to improve the energy efficiency of buildings. However, they can also be vulnerable to moisture intrusion, which can compromise their insulating properties and lead to damage and decay.
Thermal Resistance
Polyurethane coating can help to prevent moisture intrusion by forming a seamless, waterproof barrier over the insulation board. In addition, polyurethane coating can improve the thermal resistance of the insulation board, helping to reduce heat loss and improve energy efficiency further.
Corner & Edge Protection
An issue with insulation boards is that their edges and corners are vulnerable to damage, particularly if they are exposed to impact or point loads. However, by applying polyurethane coating and reinforcement tape to joints, across edges and corners of the insulation board, building owners and property managers can reinforce these areas and provide additional protection against damage.
Additional Benefits
Reduced Maintenance – A polyurethane coating can reduce the need for maintenance by providing a protective layer that helps to prevent damage to the insulation board.
Improved Fire Resistance – Some polyurethane coatings are designed to improve the fire resistance of insulation boards, helping to reduce the risk of fire spreading through a building.
Increased Durability – Polyurethane coating can improve the durability and lifespan of insulation boards by protecting them against damage from weathering, impact, and abrasion.
Enhanced Aesthetics – The coating can improve the appearance of insulation boards by providing a uniform, attractive finish.
Application – Joint Reinforcement
Most applications requires joint only reinforcement with taped joints but very old, deteriorating and split insulation boards would benefit from full reinforcement with chop strand glass fibre matting.
Our unique material is specifically designed, can exceed the demands of Insulation Boards construction roofs, providing superior protection against the elements and ensuring your roof looks great for years to come.
Final Word
A liquid polyurethane coating can create a seamless, waterproof barrier over the insulation board, while the joint tape can help to strengthen the edges and corners and prevent moisture infiltration, that will extend the lifespan of the insulation board and reduce the need for maintenance and repairs.
