EnergyGuard™
Ultra PolyIso Roof Insulation
Description
EnergyGuard™ Ultra roof insulation consists of UltraShield™ coated glass-fiber
mat facer laminated to a closed-cell polyisocyanurate foam core. EnergyGuard™
Ultra uses EPA accepted blowing agents and qualifies under the Federal Procurement
Regulation of Recycled Material. EnergyGuard™ Ultra insulation provides outstanding
thermal performance on commercial roofing application. It is designed to be used
with all GAF and EverGuard® roofing systems, including ballasted, fully adhered
or mechanically attached single ply, modified bitumen, and built-up roofing systems.
Available in 4’ x 4’ or 4’ x 8’ board sizes, and in thicknesses ranging from 1”
to 4.0”.
Advantages
- Excellent thermal performance.
- Provides high performance substrate for cold applied modified bitumen applications.
- Closed cell structure provides enhanced water and vapor resistance.
- Excellent dimensional stability.
- FMRC Approved –– Subject to the conditions of approval as a roof insulation when
installed as shown in the current edition of the Factory Mutual Research Approval
Guide.
- Safe –– Uses EPA accepted blowing agents.
- Lightweight –– Lighter than most other insulating products offering comparable thermal
resistance; as much as five times lighter in weight than many other materials with
the same R-value.
- Low water permeability –– lower overall perm rating than many conventional insulation
boards.
- High moisture resistance and no capillarity; is stable and maintains its physical
and insulating characteristics.
- Easier handling and faster to install –– Because of light weight, this material
is easier to handle on the job site and installs faster. Easier cutting in the field
provides the installer with simplified fabricating on the roof deck. Minimizes on-the-job
damage.
Uses
- EnergyGuard™ Ultra Roof Insulation is designed for use over structural roof
decks where “R” values of 6.0 or higher are required, along with comprehensive UL
and FMRC approvals.
- When properly installed, it is suitable for use under built-up, modified bitumen
and most single-ply roofing systems.
- Refer to the membrane manufacturer’s current application and specifications manual
for proper installation procedures.
Traffic/Storage/Potential Fire Hazard
- EnergyGuard™ Ultra Roof Insulation is a non-structural, non-load bearing material.
It is not designed for direct traffic usage unless adequately protected.
- EnergyGuard™ Ultra Roof Insulation should be stored dry and protected from
the elements. No more insulation should be installed than can be completely covered
with roofing on the same day.
- As unprotected polyisocyanurate will burn, fire safety precautions should
be observed wherever insulation products are used.
- Direct torching of modified bitumen roofing to EnergyGuard™ Ultra Roof insulation
will present a fire hazard. A properly installed fiber glass base
sheet MUST be used over the insulation.
Code Compliance
- Listed by Underwriters Laboratories for use as part of a Class A, B or C Roof Covering.
See UL Inc. Roofing Materials and Systems Directory for details.
- Subject to the conditions of approval as a roof insulation when installed as shown
in the current edition of the Factory Mutual Research Approval Guide.
- Mechanical attachment of roof insulation is the most dependable method of attachment
to steel decks since it minimizes lateral movement and wind blow-off.
- For details, consult Factory Mutual Loss Prevention Sheet 1-28, 1-29, 1-28R,
1-29R and current Approval Guide.
- Federal Specification HH-I-1972/ASTM C1289.
WARNING: DO NOT EXPOSE TO OPEN FLAME OR EXCESSIVE HEAT. MAY BURN
IF IGNITED. IF IGNITED, EXTINGUISH COMPLETELY.
NOTE: REPAIR ROOF LEAKS PROMPTLY TO AVOID ADVERSE EFFECTS, INCLUDING
MOLD.
