Product Description

Manufacture of TimberBoard begins with softwood chips produced from FSCcertified forests, adhesive and Paraffin. Compressing the mixture creates a single-ply continuous insulation ideal for addressing thermal bridging and improving overall performance of the building envelope. Boards range in thickness from 1” to 9.25” at widths of 24” and 48” with lengths up to 8’, and can deliver R-3.4 to 3.7 per inch. The continuous tongue and groove detailing of TimberBoards creates an excellent windresistant assembly that remains vapor open, while the composition of the board delivers a hydrophobic surface to repel water.

Applications
TimberBoard 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. TimberBoard 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. TimberBoard 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.  TimberBoard does not release toxic emissions related to burning petroleum-based products. The product line is recyclable, non-toxic, and arrives at the jobsite with anegative carbon footprint.
