Polyiso: more than just continuous insulation

If building managers cannot adequately control water and moisture permeation within their wall assembly due to natural events and poor design, it can cause extensive damage, impact aesthetics, and contribute to poor indoor air quality (IAQ) and mold growth, which is proven to have harmful effects on the health and well-being of occupants. Polyiso continuous wall insulation not only resists water but also offers other benefits.

Protecting the building

Water, wind, and ice—while their force and formidable power continue to threaten even the best laid structures, building science and cladding products has come a long way in the defense against weather damage. Moisture causes issues like mold, rot, and long-term structural decay. For these reasons, it is critical to defend against potential moisture issues that can cause harm to a building’s aesthetic and structural integrity, posing a threat to occupant health and safety.
