The most important reason is to be energy efficient. Even economically insulated buildings may need some form of heating or cooling to achieve comfortable internal temperatures. A well insulated building requires less heating or cooling intervention than a poorly insulated one, which means the running , or cost of energy for heating and cooling are lower. Good insulators such as ISOBOARD® will contribute to energy saving for the expected life of the building. This is a significant factor if the building has an economic function, such as a chicken farm or a shopping mall.
- Ease and cost effectiveness of insulation: The lightweight nature of the board, its strength, length and flexibility, as well as the tongue and groove edge profile make ISOBOARD® one of the easiest and cheapest insulators to install, particularly when combined with its ability to be used in exposed applications.
- Versatility of applications: ISOBOARD® has more application alternatives than any other insulator. It can be installed in almost any roof liner, ceiling, cavity-wall or inverted floor application, and it can often be repaired in place when damaged during installation.
- Moisture transfer resistance: The fact that ISOBOARD® is effectively waterproof allows its use in inverted roof application, as well as in very high humidity applications in agriculture , aquaculture and manufacturing plants. It is suitable for use in residential applications where moisture and condensation are prevalent, such as kitchens, bathrooms and economical housing.
- Durability: IsoBoard can reasonably be expected to last for the life of the building, with minimal fall off in thermal performance. Depending on the building type and purpose, this can mean significant energy cost savings over the life of the building.
- Safety: ISOBOARD® contains a flame retardant additive and has proven qualities in a fire situation, predominantly that it does not support flame spread. (tested in accordance with Aus/NZ 1530.3 - 1999 and also tested according to AS/NZS 3837:1998 Cone Calorimeter Test Method.)
