Fanfold Rigid Board Insulation

Foldable Insulation

Lexar Fanfold (FF) is a non-structural, rigid insulation board made from closed cell Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) with a laminated facer on both sides offering cost effective performance. The boards are lightweight and easy to install allowing for quick installation for increased labor savings. Designed to be installed as continuous insulation, reduce thermal bridging and directly improve building envelope performance. Lexar Fanfold can be used in both new and retrofit for residential, commercial, and institutional applications.

Enhanced R-Value for Walls

R2.9 (RSI 0.51) can be added to any of the Fanfold R-Values listed in the table above by ensuring that a 3/4″ (19mm) sealed air space is added in front of the board with a reflective facer. Based on data from 2021 ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals, Chapter 26.14 -Table 3.

Enhanced R-Value for Roofs

R1.7 (RSI 0.30) can be added to any of the Fanfold R-Values listed in the table above by ensuring that a 3/4″ (19mm) sealed air space is added in front of the board with a reflective facer. Based on data from 2021 ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals, Chapter 26.14 -Table 3.
