The importance of a properly insulated building cannot be understated. In fact, a building that incorporates insulation into
its overall roof design can substantially lower energy costs throughout the life of the roof.
Polyisocyanurate (Polyiso)Because of its superior R-value and excellent energy-efficient properties, polyisocyanurate (polyiso) foam has become the industry’s premier roofing insulation. Polyiso can be attached to appropriate decking materials with a variety of plates and fasteners or Carlisle’s FAST 100 adhesive, and is compatible with all Carlisle roof systems. Carlisle manufactures its own polyiso in a number of production facilities strategically located throughout the United States, giving Carlisle the ability to fully satisfy the need for this increasingly popular material. |
Tapered PolyisoCarlisle manufactures tapered polyiso, an energy-efficient insulation designed to minimize heating and cooling costs while promoting positive rooftop drainage for virtually any roofing application. By directing water to drains and scuppers, tapered polyiso reduces water infiltration and minimizes the negative effects of ponding water, ultimately lengthening the service life of a roof. Manufactured in various slopes and sizes with no formaldehyde or ozone-depleting CFCs, Carlisle's tapered polyiso offers an eco-friendly alternative that provides a custom solution for any rooftop. |
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS)Carlisle also manufactures tapered expanded polystyrene (EPS), a high-performance insulation that promotes positive rooftop drainage and provides superior dimensional stability, compressive strength and water resistance for virtually any roofing application. By directing water to drains and scuppers, tapered EPS can eliminate ponding water and reduce water infiltration, lengthening the service life of a roof. Manufactured in a variety of slopes and sizes, Carlisle's tapered EPS is also environmentally friendly and contains no formaldehyde or ozone-depleting CFCs. |
