ISOSHIELD premium NVB
Rigid insulation for above grade exterior walls
Made of graphite polystyrene
ISOSHIELD PREMIUM NVB is a non vapour barrier insulation panel made of graphite polystyrene faced on both sides with a perforated metalized film, non-reflective on the front and reflective on the back. Reducing thermal conductivity and offering a greater insulation while still providing a permeable solution, ISOSHIELD PREMIUM NVB is a resistant and durable cost effective product for exterior walls insulation.
NEW CONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATION
Single family. Duplex. Townhouse. Multi-unit.
Advantages
ELIMINATES HEAT LOSS
Continuous insulation sheathing. Made of graphite polystyrene. With graphite-enhanced polystyrene, you’ll achieve superior insulation performance compared to a traditional expanded polystyrene insulation board of the same thickness. ISOSHIELD PREMIUM NVB makes it possible to insulate the house from the outside, eliminating thermal bridges.
LET THAT MOISTURE OUT
Non Vapour Barrier. Perforated films of ISOSHIELD PREMIUM NVB ensure water vapour permeance of the panel to reduce the risk of trapped moisture.
COST EFFECTIVE RIGID INSULATION
Significant savings in every way. ISOSHIELD PREMIUM NVB is a cost competitive sheathing insulation panel, easy to install and seal. It can act as a second plane of protection when the joints are taped and sealed (OBC 9.27.3).
ISOSHIELD 100
Other options available. ISOSHIELD 100 is a rigid low vapour permeance insulation panel made of expanded polystyrene faced with a non‐reflective coated metalized film on the front and a reflective one on the back.
Reduced thermal conductivity
- Provides continuous insulation.
- Stable and permanent R-Value.
- Different product versions provide more flexible options for builders.
Non Vapour Barrier
- Reduces risks of mould.
- Structure can breathe.
- No need to calculate dew point.
Significant savings in every way
- Fast to install as it is highly flexible; makes installation on radius walls easier.
- Lightweight product: handling and installation time are minimized.
- Cutting marks printed on the front side, which makes the panels easy to cut and install.
- No need to add another weather barrier membrane.
Other options available
- Non-perforated films: ISOSHIELD 100.
- Other dimensions, thicknesses and densities.
EFFICENT CONTINUOUS INSULATION SHEATHING.
MADE OF GRAPHITE-ENHANCED POLYSTYRENE.
Graphite-enhanced polystyrene (GPS) reduces thermal conductivity and offers a greater insulation value for a thickness equivalent to traditional expanded polystyrene.
