Product Description

Applications
TimberBoardTM is an ideal continuous insulation for roofs and above-grade walls. The rigidity and density of wood fiber board products make them easy to handle, cut, and install. Traditional wood cutting tools work well.

Market Position
TimberBoard replaces foam board insulations, such as expanded polystyrene (EPS), extruded polystyrene (XPS), and polyisocyanurate (PIR) in above-grade applications. Continuous foam board insulations can trap moisture in wood frame structures, leading to mold, mildew, and rot. TimberBoardTM is highly vapor permeable, allowing indoor humidity to escape. Wood fiber, through low thermal conductivity and high heat capacity, balances temperature swings in conditioned spaces to reduce both heating and cooling loads. Unlike mineral wool insulation, TimberBoardTM offers high compressive strength, increasing the speed and precision of cladding installation. Wood fiber continuous insulation meets residential fire standards and is superior to most foam products in flame tests. TimberBoardTM does not release toxic emissions related to burning petroleum-based products. The product line is recyclable, non-toxic, and arrives at the jobsite with a negative carbon footprint.
