Quantum Select 5.0 Insulation Board is a Type III Expanded Polystyrene Insulation Board (as per ULC-S701 and ASTM-C-578) featuring geometrically defined drainage cavities on the back side of the insulation board, intended for use in Quantum Select family of EIFS Systems. Quantum Select 5.0 Insulation is supplied in sheets which are 610 mm (2ft) x 1220 mm (4 ft), in thicknesses from 50.8 mm (2”) to 152 mm (6”) in increments of 12.5 mm (1/2”). Quantum Select 5.0 Insulation can be applied over any substrate approved for our Quantum Select family of EIFS Systems and attached by chemical adhesive bond or by mechanical fasteners as specified. The sheets are not to be applied directly to framing members when part of any Quantum Select family of EIFS System. All test results given herein, or any of those in our EIFS Systems are specific to use Quantum Select 5.0 Insulation. Substitution voids all tests results and systems warranties offered. Special aesthetic shapes supplied by others are not incorporated in the EIFS System warranty.
- R-Value 5.0 per Inch (at -18·°C)
