Quantum Select 5.0 is an exterior insulation and finish system consisting of Type IV expanded polystyrene insulation with factory cut channels, 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.
- R-Value 5.0/inch @ -18°C
- CAN/ULC S716 compliant
- 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 air/vapour barrier
- Simple interfacing with other pressure equalized
- 2-hour fire rating in accordance with ULC W456
- Economical
- Aesthetic design flexibility
- Continuous Insulation – CI Factor = 0.76 RSI/in
Quantum Select 5.0 is suitable for use over a wide range of structurally sound substrates and is recommended for use in buildings which require moisture managed cladding and higher insulation values per inch.
