what is it , how thick is it, whats it made of,

[Cory Lechner]

It is 1/2" thick, made of "rigid polyiso foam board" with a "triplex facer (foil-kraft-foil) on the topside and a foil facer on the back side"... check it out and let me know what you think:

this is interesting because I just did this to a 110 yr house , and there are alot of things for you to consider, Do you want to put it on the outside of your house and put siding over it, I removed my cedar shakes put up 2" celotex foam board with r 14,4 , then 5/8 ' oxb then shakes, one thing r3 is not much for all that work, It looks like celotex made it, tell me what you want to do , acheive, and your location

I want to put vinyl over top of the Energy Shield. My climate is brutal (Saskatchewan, Canada - winter for 5-7 months, summers can be quite warm - this week has us at 30++ Degree Celsius, 86++ Fahrenheit, ). What I want to achieve? I guess I want to improve the insulation a bit on the house... did you check out the link I had on my last post?

Cory Adding r3 to siding is not enough, adding r 15 is better
