1.3.1 Composite Board Insulation

Click Tabs to View ProductsInformation: Composite Board InsulationPosi-Slope WesternSoprema Inc.

Composite board roof insulation products consist of an insulation bonded with another insulation and / or a variety of other products (typically fibreboard, perlite, membranes, etc.) to form a unified, multi-layered insulation board. The top and bottom surfaces of the board may be impregnated and / or coated with asphalt (or other binders), and covered with facing materials such as roofing felts, foils, kraft paper modified bituminous membranes, etc.

The properties and performance of composite board roof insulation varies with the components of the board. Generally, the boards are manufactured to provide some of the following properties and advantages:

Compatible with asphalt,
Resistant to thermal conductivity,
Resistant to fire,
Resistant to the effects of moisture,
Resistant to cell deterioration (durable),
Resistant to impact, and / or
Unaffected by asphalt application temperatures (no overlay may be required).

The possible disadvantages and precautions involved in the use of composite board insulations include:

Complexity of manufacture and dissimilar materials,
Sometimes expensive, and
Limited availability

1.3.2 Extruded Expanded Polystyrene Foam (XPS)

Click Tabs to View ProductsInformation: XPS InsulationDow Chemical Canada Inc.Owens Corning CanadaTech-Crete Processors Ltd.

(See also Expanded Polystyrene Foam and Protected Membrane Roof Assemblies)

Molten polystyrene and a blowing agent HCFC (142B) are mixed, under pressure, in an extruder. As this solution is extruded through an orifice into ambient temperature and controlled conditions, the blowing agent vapourizes causing the polystyrene to expand approximately 30 times its original size. The continuous extrusion process produces boards with a surface “skin” and closed cell structure and, for this reason, has been used extensively for protected membrane roof assemblies. The rigid insulation boards are expanded to a specific thickness during manufacture and have an approximate density of 32 kg / cu. m (2 lb / cu.ft).

Extruded expanded polystyrene foam roof insulation is combustible and, when used on steel decks or over a roof that is subject to fire exposure from below, a fire-rated underlayment or thermal barrier (such as gypsum board) may be required between the roof deck and the insulation (consult Building Code and insurance requirements).

Extruded expanded polystyrene roof insulation is manufactured to CAN / ULC-S701 standard and is currently available in three types (depending on physical properties) and in four forms, as follows:

Type 4 for use on conventional or protected membrane roofing systems
Type 4 with a factory-applied latex-modified concrete topping for protected membrane roofing systems
Type 3 for use on conventional roof systems
Type 2 for use on conventional roofing systems [density of 24 kg / cu.m (1.5 lb / cu.ft)]

Extruded polystyrene roof insulation provides the following properties and advantages:

Compatible with asphalt
Resistant to the effects of moisture
Resistant to cell deterioration (durable)
Resistant to impact
Resistant to thermal conductivity
Stable K-value

The possible disadvantages or precautions involved in the use of extruded polystyrene roof insulation include:

Flammable (combustible)
Affected by solvents (i.e. adhesives and cleaners used for single ply membranes)
Heat sensitive [requires an insulation overlay, such as fibreboard, to prevent “melting” (burnouts) from hot asphalt]
Will not retain nails (requires screws and plates)
Dimensional instability may result from improper curing at the factory

DESCRIPTION

The roofing assembly / material information published in the RCABC Roofing Practices Manual does NOT represent a complete set of the manufacturer's published data, nor does it represent a detailed specification. The preparation of a detailed specification is the responsibility of the design authority.

Tech-Crete™ insulated roof panels are 600 mm (2 ft. X 4 ft) composite panels of extruded, expanded, Type 4 CAN/ULC-S701-97 / CGSB-51.20-M87 polystyrene foam, with a factory applied 9.5mm (3/8”) latex modified concrete topping. They are designed as lightweight, self-ballasted, interlocking insulated panels for loose application on top of well drained roof membranes in a low-slope, protected membrane roof assembly.

Tech-Crete panels are tongue and grooved on the longitudinal sides, with a butt edge on the lateral ends. Each board weighs minimum 16.3 kg (36 lb.) creating an insulated panel assembly of about 22 kg/m² (4.5 lb/ft². Panels are available in standard thickness of 50 mm (2”) and 100 mm (4”). In addition, 75 mm (3”) thick panels are available as special order.

BASE INSULATION

The base insulation is Dow Roofmate*, a superior moisture resistant material (absorption less than 1%) with a high thermal resistance value of 0.88 (R 5.0 per inch.), and high compressive strength of 240 kPa (35 psi).

CONCRETE TOPPING The latex modified concrete topping is available in two standard colours, both with a relatively smooth surface:

CTI (Concrete Topped) Insulated Roof Panels are manufactured as a standard concrete grey colour.
SRI (Solar Reflective) Insulated Roof Panels are manufactured with a full depth white concrete topping.

PERFORMANCE

Latex modified concrete is very durable and chemically resistant. It can be cut with a masonry saw.

Concrete topped insulation roof panels can accept occasional maintenance foot traffic, however, they are not intended for use as a patio, plaza deck or construction platform.
As with other cementitious products, concrete topped insulation roof panels can become stained by efflorescence if stored unprotected for extended periods. This efflorescence will not be so obvious on SRI panels, however, care in scheduling and handling is required to ensure the white topping remains clean.
Concrete topped insulation roof panels are compatible with most commonly used membranes, however, in some cases a slip sheet between membrane and insulation is required to minimize cracking of the concrete topping.

1.3.3 Expanded Polystyrene Foam (EPS)

Click Tabs to View ProductsInformation: EPS InsulationMansonville Plastics (BC) Ltd.Plasti-Fab

(See also 3.6.5 Expanded Extruded Polystyrene)

Third Party Certification: RGC welcomes and accepts the industry recommendation presented by all EPS manufacturers currently active in the B.C. market to require third party certification of the EPS products meeting CAN / ULC-S701-97 / (CAN / CGSB-51.20-M87) requirements. It is understood that such a certification program requires annual inspections / recertification by an independent testing lab.

Molten polystyrene and a blowing agent are mixed and formed into uniform closed-cell structures (“beads”). These are later expanded up to 40 times by steam in a pre-expander. (The amount of expansion determines the density and, therefore, the thermal conductivity of the final product.) The expanded beads are stabilized in curing bins, fused into a billet in a block mold, and cut into the desired size, shape and thickness. This process produces rigid boards of interconnecting closed cells of densities varying from 16 to 48 kg / cu.m (1 to 3 lb / cu.ft). Expanded polystyrene insulation is commonly referred to as “beadboard” or “popcorn”.

Expanded polystyrene roof insulation is presently manufactured to the CAN / ULC-S701-97 / (CAN / CGSB-51.20-M87) standard and is available in four types, depending on the physical properties of the material. Basically, the strength (tensile, compressive, flexural, and shear) and thermal resistance properties increase, and the water vapour permeance and water absorption properties decrease from Type 1 to Type 4. (For Type 2 and Type 4 see also Section 3.6.5 Extruded Expanded Polystyrene). Note: Type 4 is usually, if not always, extruded.

Expanded polystyrene foam roof insulation is combustible and, when used on steel decks or over a roof that is subject to fire exposure from below, a fire-rated underlayment or thermal barrier (such as gypsum board) may be required between the roof deck and the insulation (consult Building Code and insurance requirements).

Expanded polystyrene foam roof insulation provides the following properties and advantages:

Compatible with asphalt
Resistant to the effects of moisture
Resistant to cell deterioration (durable)
Resistant to impact
Resistant to thermal conductivity
Stable K-value (the thermal conductivity does not change with aging)

The possible disadvantages or precautions involved in the use of expanded polystyrene roof insulation include:

Flammable (combustible)
Affected by solvents (i.e. adhesives and cleaners used for single-ply membranes)
Heat sensitive [requires an insulation overlay (such as fibreboard) to prevent “burnouts” from hot asphalt]
Will not retain nails (requires screws and plates)
Dimensional instability may result from improper curing at the factory.

1.3.5 Fibreboard Roof Insulation

Click Tabs to View ProductsInformation: Fibreboard InsulationBuilding Products of Canada Corp.IKO Industries Ltd.Western Louiseville Fibreboard Inc.

Fibreboard insulation is composed of wood, cane, or other vegetable fibres and waterproofing binders. A water slurry containing the wood fibres and waterproofing binders is deposited onto a moving screen. The water drains through the screen and the remaining mass is heated in an oven or dryer to produce the finished product. Fibreboard roof insulation is produced in several forms:

Plain
Impregnated with asphalt or petroleum based paraffin
Coated with asphalt

Fibreboard Roof Insulation that is adhered in a roof assembly with hot asphalt or asphaltic-based adhesives must have an asphalt coating on the top and bottom surfaces (minimum coated two sides) to meet RGC Guarantee Standards. Fibreboard for use as roofing insulation is manufactured to meet or exceed the requirements of CAN / ULC-S706 (Insulating Fibreboard), Type I (Roof Board).

Fibreboard roof insulation provides the following properties and advantages:

Compatible with asphalt
Compatible with most roof system components
Resistant to thermal conductivity
Resistant to cell deterioration (durable)
Resistant to impact
Resistant to thermal cycling (dimensionally stable)
Unaffected by asphalt application temperatures (no overlay required)
Stable K-value (the thermal conductivity does not change with aging)
Retains roofing nails

The possible disadvantages or precautions involved in the use of fibreboard insulation include:

Flammable (Combustible)
Absorbs moisture (protect from the effects of weathering)
Low thermal values
Organic in nature and will rot on exposure to moisture.

1.3.6 Perlitic

Click Tabs to View ProductsInformation: Perlitic InsulationJohns Manville Corporation

Perlite ore is a volcanic glass with a natural water content characteristic. When this ore is heated to approximately +930^oC (+1700^oF) the water vaporizes and the ore expands into glass spheroids. The expanded perlite ore may be mixed into a water slurry formulation containing cellulose fibre, a small amount of asphalt, and sometimes starch. The slurry is then dried into boards and cut to size. The top surface is usually treated to minimize bitumen absorption.

Perlitic roof insulation provides the following properties and advantages:

Compatible with asphalt
Compatible with most roof system components
Resistant to thermal conductivity
Resistant to fire
Resistant to impact
Resistant to thermal cycling (dimensionally stable)
Unaffected by asphalt application temperatures
Stable K-value
Retains roofing nails

The possible disadvantages or precautions involved in the use of perlitic roof insulation include:

Absorbs moisture (protect from the effects of weathering)
Heavy equipment may compress boards causing possible debonding of the insulation from the deck
Extremely friable (crushable); proper compounding and correct grading is important
Relatively low thermal values.

FESCO BOARD

Fesco Board is a homogeneous board composed of expanded perlite, a volcanic ore, blended with selected binders and fibers. The perlite particles are subjected to intense heat, which causes them to expand approximately fifteen times their original size. The resulting glass-like beads contain air cells, which provide high insulating efficiency.

The top surface of Fesco Board is sealed with Top-Loc coating to ensure positive adhesion of a built-up or modified bitumen membrane. The minimum recycled content is 25% by weight.

Fesco Board has excellent fire resistance and is approved for use in Factory Mutual approved constructions. When applied over rigid decks, Fesco Board’s high laminar tensile strength resists damage from on-the-job and maintenance traffic, offers an excellent substrate for all roofing membranes, and effectively bridges flute openings in metal decks. Because of its perlite composition and low water absorption rates, Fesco Board is dimensionally stable.

Thermal Resistance	RSI = .49 / 25 mm (R value = 2.78 / inch)
Uses	Fesco Board is a rigid, thermal roof insulation for use in built-up, modified bitumen and some single ply roofing systems. It may be applied using hot bitumen and / or mechanical fasteners. It may be used as a primary or overlayment board.
