INSULATION BOARD
The insulating panel FANOSA made up of fire retardant, expanded polystyrene, makes it possible to reduce costs in the building process, and at the same time, it offers long-lasting heat insulation for walls, flat and sloping building covers, industrial naves, commercial spaces, homes and for cold rooms foundations.
Past use of polystyrene panels in ground and underground building processes has shown great characteristics, such as: stability and durability; resistant to humidity and to land organisms; and neutral biological behavior that does not affect underground aquifers. Finally, the materials use to manufacture this product have some additives that work as fire retardants.
An additional application that is becoming very popular is the use of this panel to add volume to create rain slopes in buildings; it is commercially known as "Sloping Panel".

What is thermal "R"?
"R" is established as the thermal value which indicates a material's ability to delay the transfer of heat from the exterior to the interior. For this Panel, an "R" value of 4.0 is used for each inch in thickness.
How is the panel affixed?
It is regularly affixed through mechanical means such as nails or screws which are previously affixed to the wall being insulated; they can also be affixed with plastic cement of the "bond cement" type.
How can it be covered?
The most widely used material, and also the one that produces great results, is a gluey polyester mesh that adheres to the panel; an elastic cement of the "bond cement" is placed over the mesh.
What are the panel's main advantages?
Its main advantage is its insulating protection. Past use of polystyrene panels in ground and underground building processes has shown great characteristics, such as: stability and durability; resistant to humidity and to land organisms; and neutral biological behavior that does not affect underground aquifers. Finally, the materials use to manufacture this product have some additives that work as fire retardants.
