Insulite Select is an exterior insulation and finish system consisting of expanded polystyrene insulation with factory-cut channels, insulation adhesive, insulation adhesive, glass fibre reinforcing mesh, base coats, and a finish texture coat which can be selected from any one of the available Durex Architectural Coatings.
- CCMC listed (13103-R)
- Continuous venting at floor lines and horizontal terminations, using pre-manufactured vented boards
- Positive drainage (through a network of vertical and horizontal channels)
- Continuous water resistive barrier
- Simple interfacing with other pressure equalized claddings
- 2-hour fire rating in accordance with ULC W-456
- High Thermal Resistance
- Aesthetic design flexibility
- GDDC Factor 25% (Geometrically Defined Drainage Cavity)
- CI factor 0.76 RSI (R 4.3) per inch (Continuous Insulation)
Insulite Select is suitable for use over a wide range of structurally sound substrates and is recommended for use in buildings which require moisture-managed cladding.
