  • FOAMULAR is not rated for STC (sound transmission) and does not have any soundproofing properties. Owens Corning fiberglass batts and rolls are great options for acoustic applications.

  • Being used in an interior construction application, painting the FOAMULAR is not recommended as FOAMULAR cannot be left exposed and will need to be covered by a 15-minute thermal barrier such as drywall

      Q:Can you use this product on exterior 1/2 inch plywood sheeting and then a house wrap prior to installing hardiboard siding? Thanks so much!

      Answer This Question

      A:  Hello Moose, While Foamular FanFold can be installed over plywood sheathing prior to installing siding, its intended purpose is to be used as a residing board to provide a smooth surface to install new siding over existing. The 1/4" thickness will only provide a R-value of 1. We also suggest checking with Hardie to determine their installation requirements. Thank you for your inquiry!

            Easy to Install
            This insulation has a uniform consistency and is easy to install. Its compact packaging makes it easy to transport. I used a staple gun and box cutter to install. I would buy again.

              Worked great for my obscure purpose of insulating reptile tanks from the outside. Only complaint is I wish it came in 2x4 pieces. Only need 6ea 2x4 sections. I still have 38 feet left LOL.

              Material is good, store handling is not.
              The material itself is fine, I've used it before. However, the stock available at my HomeDepot has been mishandled. Lots of cracks, rubbed through joints which required taping before installation.
