Key Features
Blue Board XPS is a high-performance, rigid insulation and substrate board designed for superior moisture resistance and thermal efficiency. Its closed-cell structure makes it an ideal choice for challenging environments where traditional gypsum or open-cell products might fail.
-
Waterproof Core: The extruded polystyrene core is naturally hydrophobic, providing an excellent barrier against water and vapor. This ensures the structural integrity of the installation in wet areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms.
-
Lightweight & Rigid: Despite its high strength-to-weight ratio, Blue Board is incredibly easy to handle and transport. It provides a stable, flat surface that resists compression, making it a reliable substrate for various finishes.
-
Thermal Efficiency: XPS foam offers consistent R-value insulation, helping to regulate temperature and improve the energy efficiency of the building envelope.
-
Easy Installation: The boards can be easily scored and snapped with a standard utility knife, allowing for rapid customization and fitting around fixtures or architectural details.
Application Guide
-
Substrate Use: Excellent for use as a lightweight tile backer or wall insulation in residential and commercial projects.
-
Versatility: Compatible with a wide range of adhesives, thin-sets, and mechanical fasteners.
-
Aesthetic Integration: Provides the precise, level surfaces necessary for achieving a high-end, minimalist finish with large-format tile or stone.
Pro Tip: When installing Blue Board in wet areas, ensure all seams and fastener penetrations are sealed with manufacturer-approved waterproof tape or sealant. This creates a continuous, monolithic water barrier that protects the framing and prevents long-term moisture issues.
