Installation

1. There are two ways to cut

STYROFOAM Ag Board.

One way is to use a straight

edge and a utility knife or

handsaw. Or, use a knife to

score the STYROFOAM Ag

Board. Then break the board

over the edge of a table or

sawhorse.

2. Attach STYROFOAM Ag Board

perpendicular to framing,

spanning at least three fram-

ing members with insulation

board joints breaking over

framing or meeting the roof

edge. Penetrate separate

wood and metal framing 1"

with a corrosion-resistant

fastener and poly washer,

such as QUIK Cap. When

fastening to metal, Buildex

Multi-Diameter Insulation

Teks or equivalent (with

minimum 1-1/4" poly washers)

are advised.

INSTALLATION INFORMATION

AGRICULTURAL

For more than 50 years,

STYROFOAM* Ag Board extruded

polystyrene insulation has

helped agricultural building

owners control the building’s

indoor environment and protect

its contents, whether livestock,

crops or equipment. In addition

to its exceptional insulating

value, STYROFOAM Ag Board

resists moisture infiltration,

withstands high-pressure cleaning

and reduces the potential for

moisture condensation within

the wall.

The easy-to-install STYROFOAM

Ag Board uses shiplapped edges

to create a secure joint that

does not require taping, saving

considerable installation time.

Installation Procedures for

STYROFOAM Ag Board Insulation

Figure 2

End-joint gaps that are greater

than 1/8" should be filled with

spray foam such as GREAT

STUFF Gaps & Cracks sealant

or equivalent to keep a contin-

uous air infiltration barrier

and to help ensure maximum

thermal efficiency across the

board joints. To increase the

moisture effectiveness of the

board joints, apply STYROFOAM

All-Purpose Tape over the

sprayed board joints.

4. For maximum protection

against moisture and air infil-

tration, seal the board end

joints with STYROFOAM All-

Purpose Tape. Use a squeegee

or soft paint roller to press the

tape firmly to the joint. Cut

tape with a knife or scissors.

Do not tear tape.

3. Lock the shiplapped edges

together.
