Examples: BASECLAD from Fiberglas Canada
Colour: Pink
Thermal Resistance: RSI - .030/mm R - 4.3/in. High.
Cost: High
Capacity to dry out if wet: Excellent.
Fire Resistance: Good
Fungus / Vermin Resistance: Good
Limitations:
-- Must not be installed in the ground unless it reaches all the way to the weeping tiles.
Advantages:
-- High compression strength.
-- Water travels along the fibers very easily reaching the end of the sheet without penetrating very deeply, so it is useful as both an insulating and a drainage aid. Stops water and all salts and chemicals from reaching the basement wall, diverting them directly to the weeping tiles.
Applications:
-- Exterior basement walls and flat-top roofs.
