1 EXPANDED POLYSTYRENE FOR ResidentialBuilding Applications

2 ResidentialBuildi ExpandedPolystyreneIn Falcon Foam leads the residential building industry with products that are environmentally friendly, while maintaining high LTTR values. F almost any interi exteri sheathing application, Falcon Foam has the right product f your needs. Our nationwide presence means you ll always get your full der on time, every time. 2 ExpandedPolystyrene Sheathing Choose Plain, Poly Foil facing. Plain (unfaced) Thermal Star Sheathing is the most economical foam insulation available. The film facer provides a rugged and durable insulation board that stands up better to jobsite handling and abuse. The foilized facings offer a reflective surface. When used in conjunction with a 3/4 airspace, it can provide an additional 2.77 R-value. Foilized facing can be provided on one both sides of the product.

3 ngapplications sulation 1 ExpandedPolystyreneFEIFS FALCON FOAM Insulation is a cost-effective insulating substrate f Exteri Insulation and Finish System (EIFS). Compatible with virtually all exteri insulation systems, FALCON FOAM Insulation can be custom cut to meet unique architectural designs while substantially increasing the thermal efficiency of the structure. Stable R-value, moisture resistance and ease of handling make FALCON FOAM Insulation the ideal f new construction and retrofit applications. InteriExpanded PolystyreneSheathing Today s homeowner is making the most of available living space by converting unused basement areas to recreation rooms, home offices and wkshops. Falcon Foam INSUL-PANEL insulation adds comft to your basement project without using expensive materials sacrificing valuable space. 3

4 1 EXPANDED POLYSTYRENE INSULATION FOR EIFS 1 SPECIAL SHAPES Falcon Foam f Exteri Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS) is a cost-effective insulating substrate f exteri wall finishes. Compatible with virtually all exteri insulation systems, Falcon Foam EIFS Flat Insulation is light weight, easy to handle, and moisture resistant. Use of Falcon Foam EIFS Flat Insulation will substantially increase the thermal efficiency of the building structure. Falcon Foam Special Shapes f Exteri Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS) is a cost-effective insulating substrate f exteri wall finishes. Compatible with virtually all exteri insulation systems, Falcon Foam Special Shapes are custom cut to meet unique architectural designs, adding architectural aesthetics while increasing the thermal efficiency of the structure. 1 MOLDED WATER 1 FABRICATED WATER MANAGEMENT BOARD MANAGEMENT BOARD Falcon Foam Molded Water Falcon Foam Fabricated Water Management Board is a costeffective insulating substrate f effective insulating substrate Management Board is a cost- exteri wall finishes.

Plain (unfaced) insulating value in a minimal ThermalStar Sheathing is space, while providing a the most economical foam smooth, level surface. Choose insulation available. Falcon polypropylene foil facing. Foam Expanded Polystyrene The foilized facing offers a Plain Sheathing can be reflective surface. When sed manufactured to a variety in conjunction with a 3/4 dead of sizes to meet building airspace it can provide an requirements. additional 2.77 R-value. 2 THERMALSTAR FANFOLD 3 INSUL-PANEL ThermalStar Fanfold has the same advantages as our ThermalStar Sheathing, such as a limited thermal warranty and foil poly film facers. Plus, ThermalStar Fanfold hinges are cut, not crimped, giving the installer a level foundation which is key f a professional style siding application. Made from expanded polystyrene (EPS), INSUL- PANEL Insulation is a rigid insulation that delivers 2.9 R-value in a 3/4 thickness without the need f wood framing that takes away valuable living space. INSUL- PANEL Insulation provides an excellent backing f your wall paneling drywall.

5 Warranty 20 YEAR LIMITED THERMAL WARRANTY In response to valid concerns of building designers regarding thermal efficiency of various construction assemblies and the long-term insulating value of roof insulation, Falcon Foam (a division of Atlas Roofing Cpation) offers a 20-year, limited thermal warranty. The Falcon Foam EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) Limited Thermal Warranty places Falcon Foam EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) products above all others and suppts the building owner, designer and contract by backing up thermal perfmance. This warranty is available to the building owner at the time the building is completed and is transferable to any subsequent owner f the duration of the 20-year period. GREENAspectsOf ExpandedPolystyrene Falcon Foam leads the industry in the development of environmentally friendly Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) insulation products. Expanded Polystyrene is made without ozone depleting chemicals like CFCs HCFCs. Falcon Foam Expanded Polystyrene insulation is 100% recyclable. EPS production uses less than 0.1% of this country s petroleum. The raw material Falcon Foam uses to manufacture EPS insulation also incpates recycled material. ARC /04
