FlexxBoard25 • Under-Slab Thermal Barrier – When FlexxBoard25 offers • Energy efficiency used as a thermal barrier before • Helps eliminate frost heaving and is the perfect pouring concrete, FlexxBoard25 bonds many advantages concrete cracking • Increases the structural integrity of to concrete – reducing heat loss and concrete in both interior and exterior foam insulation preventing possible frost heaving. It at a lower cost than applications board to use helps extend the life of concrete the competition • Bonds to concrete and will not separate driveways, sidewalks, patios, shop and like other foam products above or garage slabs and basements. • Moisture, mold and mildew resistant • In-floor Heating– FlexxBoard25 can • Will not rot, deteriorate or degrade over below ground be used as a thermal barrier beneath time, sustaining its R-Value • Environmentally conscious formula uses concrete slabs when installing radiant a smaller portion of petroleum to make floor heating systems – preventing compared to other foam products heat loss to the ground while • Made of non-toxic materials that do not promoting even heating. off-gas like other foam products • Perimeter Insulation – When used • Superior dimensional stability assures around the perimeter of a poured structure remains tight and energy concrete or block wall foundation, efficient over life of building • Acts as sound deadening, quiet barrier FlexxBoard25 prevents heat loss. In shallow foundation designs, using FlexxBoard25 around the perimeter of a poured concrete slab will prevent frost penetration and frost heaves. • Custom Fill Applications – FlexxBoard25 is the ultimate dual purpose construction is simple to use in structural fill grade foam on the market. applications – custom shapes can be fabricated by LiteForm or be For more delivered in blocks and fabricated on information about site.
