How to choose and use rigid foam
Most people specifying insulation are working from what they learned fifteen years ago. This is the part of the site meant to fix that.
Why we bother
You cannot choose an option you do not know exists
Our customers today are not buying this board because it is recycled. They buy it because it performs, and they mostly find out it exists from another contractor on a job site.
I do not believe it is even a cost thing. It is more that they do not understand. They do not even have that option.
