Foam-Control^® R-SHIELD^® Cavity Wall

Continuous Insulation for Cavity Wall Applications

Foam-Control^® R-SHIELD^® film-faced insulation is a cost-effective, durable, and energy efficient solution for cavity wall applications. It is an ideal material to provide a code compliant air and weather resistant barrier and reduce energy loss in brick faced residential and commercial masonry and framed walls.

Advantages of Foam-Control^® R-SHIELD^® Cavity Wall

• Film-faced for toughness
• Air Barrier 
• Weather Resistive Barrier
• Low water vapor permeability
• No long-term R-value loss or thermal drift

Benefit of Foam-Control^® R-SHIELD^® Cavity Wall

Foam-Control R-SHIELD is lightweight, easy to cut, and comes in custom widths and lengths to accommodate any brick tie spacing and is one of the most cost effective continuous insulation available.

1 Compressive strength @ 10% deformation. 2 R-value units are °F·ft2·h/Btu. 3 Recommended for design in WARM climates. 4 Recommended for design in COLD climates. 5 Foam-Control R-SHIELD is available with a foil face. A foil face exposed to a cavity wall air space provides approximately an additional R-value of 2.0.

Foam-Control R-SHIELD is available in a wide range of standard R-values and thicknesses to meet your needs.
Product thicknesses for standard boards are provided in the Foam-Control R-SHIELD Thickness Selector. Project requirements vary, so Foam-Control R-SHIELD can be ordered in any R-value thicknesses to meet your needs.
