RAISE YOUR EXPECTATIONS OF
BELOW-GRADE INSULATION
RMAX® BELOW GRADE INSULATION FOR EXTERIOR WALL AND FOUNDATION
WORKING HARD UNDER PRESSURE
To ensure consistent thermal performance, a below-grade product must withstand three distinct load types without crushing:
Soil weight - pressure that soil exerts on the foundation
Hydrostatic (water) pressure - created by standing water pushing against any object blocking it
Surcharge loads - transient or permanent loads on the ground adjacent to the building
With a compressive strength of 25 - 60 psi, Rmax® Below Grade insulation can resist pressures from all three types of loads that may act on the foundation wall.
WHY RMAX® BELOW GRADE
High R-Value per Inch
High Compressive Strength
All-Around Protection
Familiar Installation Method
Thinner Profile
Water Resistant
LESS MATERIAL.
LESS IMPACT.
Reduce Environmental Impact with Polyiso.
HIGHER R-VALUE allows for less volume of material needed. Insulating with Polyiso, instead of XPS means:
25% FEWER Truckloads/Trips
to the job site for the same square foot of wall
25% LESS Volume of Material
needs to be produced for the same square foot of wall
25% LESS Floor Space
for the same turnover in distribution/use of floor space
