Insulation part 3 Flashcards
polyurethane/polyicynene base,
react and expand to low-density foam,
sprayed foam insulation
cellulose, fiberglass, rock wool,
mixed w adhesive and water to activate.
sprayed fiber insulation
sprayed fiber insulation:
most common
cellulose, combined w fire retardant
fiberglass sprayed fiber insulation is known as
bibs
blown in blanket system
BIBS compared to cellulose
not prevent air infiltration as well as sprayed cellulose
sprayed fiber insulation @ commercial insulation and fireproofing
rockwool
locations of radiant barriers and reflective insulation:
outside insulation
blocking summer heat
locations of radiant barriers and reflective insulation:
inside insulation
retaining winter heat
insulated concrete forms:
material
typ. extruded expanded polystyrene,
req’d at interior of insulated concrete forms
GWB or fire resistant cover per code.
outer skins bonded to rigid insulated core,
typ expanded polystyrene.
structural insulated panels (SIPS)
vapor retarders placement
@ warm side,
to prevent water from reaching dew point.
