XPS, or Extruded Polystyrene Insulation, also known as Rigid Foam, is well-suited for a variety of commercial and residential applications. The lightweight, durable rigid foam panels are easy to install and provide a long-term, stable insulating performance. The rigid foam’s closed-cell properties also make it highly moisture resistance. Here is a quick overview of each Foamular® insulation product that Metro carries:

Foamular Cavity Wall XPS Insulation
products provide an insulating performance of R-5 per inch, along with independently tested fire, moisture and air-leakage resistance. High R-CW Plus Type IV provides an R-value of 10 or more. All serve as smart alternatives to Dow CavityMateTM products.
Foamular CI-C XPS Wall Insulation
Foamular® CI-C XPS insulation is a closed-cell, moisture-resistant rigid foam board specifically designed to allow exterior coatings, such as stucco, stone, and EIFS applications, to properly adhere to the insulation. It was created for applications where Foamular F-250-25 Type IV insulation may not be suitable. CI-C, a Continuous Insulation under Coatings product, has a value of R-5 per inch and is available in 1” to 4” thickness.
