Foam-Control® EPS Cavity Wall A high performance continuous insulation (ci) for cavity wall applications. Foam-Control EPS is a cost-effective, durable, and energy efficient solution for cavity wall applications. It is an ideal material to stop energy loss in brick faced residential and commercial masonry and framed walls. Foam-Control EPS is available in a range of thicknesses to meet your local continuous insulation energy code requirements. Advantages. • • • • • • Saves energy - no thermal breaks Superior moisture resistance Meets building code requirements for ci insulation NFPA 285 compliant assemblies Installs quickly between brick ties No R-value loss or thermal drift Benefits. Foam-Control EPS provides continuous insulation meeting energy codes. Foam-Control EPS installs quickly over masonry and framed wood and metal walls. Foam-Control EPS is lightweight, easy to cut, and comes in custom widths and lengths to accommodate any brick tie spacing and is the most cost effective continuous insulation available.

Foam-Control means control, not compromise. Foam-Control EPS is manufactured under an industry leading quality control program monitored by UL and further recognized in ICC-ES Evaluation Report ER-1006 and UL Evaluation Report UL ER11812-01. Foam-Control EPS is engineered to give you the greatest control over your cavity wall applications: from design and timelines, to materials and costs, and – ultimately – control over your results. Foam-Control EPS meets ASTM C578, “Standard Specification for Rigid, Cellular Polystyrene Thermal Insulation”. In the cavity wall industry, Foam-Control EPS is the most versatile, cost effective product available, delivering cost effective continuous insulation for masonry and framed wall assemblies. Depend on Foam-Control EPS to do the job. Installation. Ready to take control? Start here. Foam-Control EPS must be installed over structurally sound masonry, wood framed, or steel framed walls. Wood and steel framed walls must be sheathed and covered with a weather resistive barrier. Using mechanical fasteners or EPS compatible adhesives, install Foam-Control EPS to the wall butting all joints of the Foam-Control EPS board tightly. Brick ties and face brick along with proper drainage and flashing to be installed in accordance with brick industry specifications. Installation shall be in accordance with published instructions, details, and drawings that are part of the contract documents for the project. If you’re starting to wonder how Foam-Control EPS can contribute to your next project, here’s how to find out. Just contact your nearest Foam-Control EPS supplier. They’ll be happy to give you design consultation, information about Foam-Control EPS, pricing, and answers to all your questions. Contact a sales rep and download Foam-Control EPS documentation at www.foam-control.com. Note: Climate conditions, code requirements, and building science dictate the use and position of vapor retarders within wall assemblies. Consult with local code officials and building science professionals concerning the use of vapor retarders. Foam-Control EPS products are manufactured by AFM Corporation licensees.
