Maximize Your Metal

You haven't maximized the value of your metal building until you've added a layer of rigid foam insulation from Dow Building Solutions. THERMAX™ Polyisocyanurate and STYROFOAM™ Brand Extruded Polystyrene Insulations from Dow help address many of the energy and moisture issues that compromise the performance of metal buildings.

Condensation is a hidden, yet very potent, source of moisture intrusion into metal building walls and roofs. Because metal easily takes on the outside ambient temperature, metal structures are especially susceptible to condensation. Beyond corrosion problems, water can also cause hidden damage, compromising the insulation value of fiberglass batt insulation and helping create an environment conducive to mold formation.

When properly installed, rigid foam insulation from Dow helps moderate the temperature differentials that can lead to condensation. Facers on some products offer noise dampening and resist moisture, helping the insulation maintain a stable, long-lasting R-value.

Rigid foam insulation from Dow is an ideal choice for agricultural, commercial and industrial applications.
