Foam to Board

Choose the Right Insulation for Maximum Efficiency

Insulation plays a key role in keeping your home energy efficient and comfortable year-round. With options like foam board insulation, knowing which type works best for your space can make all the difference. At Zen Air Heating and Cooling, we offer expert advice to help you select the right insulation solution tailored to your home’s needs.

Types of Foam Board Insulation

There are three primary types of foam board insulation commonly used in residential construction, each offering unique benefits and suited to different applications.

Expanded Polystyrene (EPS)

EPS foam board is made from Styrofoam beads, creating small gaps between the beads that allow air and moisture to pass through. While it offers good insulation, it provides less protection against moisture compared to other foam board types, making it less ideal for areas prone to dampness.

Extruded Polystyrene (XPS)

XPS foam board is designed with a continuous closed-cell structure, providing superior resistance to both air and water infiltration. This makes it a more effective option than EPS, especially in areas where moisture control is important.

Polyisocyanurate (Polyiso)

Polyiso foam board is the top-performing option, offering superior thermal resistance and water protection. With reflective foil layers on both sides, it provides the highest fire rating of the three types, making it an excellent choice for areas requiring both performance and safety.

Applications of Foam Board Insulation

Foam board insulation is ideal for areas where high resistance to water and air infiltration is essential, such as:

Roof insulation
Under attic platforms
Basements and crawlspaces

Its ability to block air and water makes foam board insulation an excellent choice for boosting your home’s energy efficiency.
