STYROFOAM PERIMATE

Specially designed vertical grooves face the soil to channel water down to the footing drains or weeping tiles. CAD Details for STYROFOAM™ PERIMATE™ Specifying Insulation Drainage Panels - Guide Spec (72KB PDF) STYROFOAM PERIMATE Product Information Sheet (187KB PDF) STYROFOAM PERIMATE is an extruded polystyrene foam insulation board with patented dovetail grooves cut into one face of the board and shiplap edges on the long edges. When installed on the exterior of basement walls, it provides insulation, protects the waterproofing membrane and assists water drainage away from the foundation. ASTM C578 Type IV.

Building Code Compliance

Complies with ASTM C 578 Type IV. Meets IBC/IRC requirements for foam plastic insulation. See ICBO-ES ER 2257, BOCA-ES RR 21-02, NES NER 699, Und. Lab. Inc.^® Classified, see Classification Certificate D369.

**Not all product sizes are available in all regions.
^† R means resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power. R-values are expressed in ft2•h•°F/Btu.
^{† †} Vertical compressive strength is measured at 10% deformation (5% for STYROFOAM PLAZAMATE insulation and for STYROFOAM HIGHLOAD 40, 60 and 100 insulation products) or at yield, whichever occurs first. Since STYROFOAM extruded polystyrene and Dow polyisocyanurate insulation products are visco-elastic materials, adequate design safety factors should be used to prevent long-term creep. For static loads, 3-1 is suggested. For dynamic loads, 5-1 is suggested.
