ATLANTA, Jan. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Kingspan Insulation continues to expand its GreenGuard extruded polystyrene (XPS) insulation board product offering with additional thicknesses of 3 inches and 4 inches in select 25, 40 and 60 psi compressive strength boards, and a new 4-sided routed drainage channel board. The new products help to round out Kingspan's GreenGuard line in commercial markets such as roofing, cold storage, and various below grade and vertical wall applications.

Kingspan GreenGuard XPS insulation board, which offers an R-value of 5.0 per inch, is ideal for a wide variety of applications and is now available in new thicknesses or as a 4-sided routed drainage channel board for roof installation.

"Kingspan now has a complete line of GreenGuard extruded polystyrene products to fully service the commercial PMR (Protected Membrane Roofing) market. Whether you have a roof covering of flat pavers, pedestal pavers, ballast or a vegetative system - Kingspan offers XPS solutions for all of these applications, complete with an industry-leading thermal and wind uplift warranty," said Craig Lynch, Commercial / Technical Director, Kingspan Insulation North America.

The new GreenGuard XPS Drainage Channel Board is for use in protected membrane roof assemblies requiring 40 psi or 60 psi minimum compressive strength and drainage channels. Drainage channels are cut along all 4 sides of the board at .5 inches deep and .25 inches wide. When placed facing down in a protected membrane roof assembly (PMRA), channels permit drainage of water that seeps through to the roof membrane.

We will continue to enhance and expand our GreenGuard XPS product portfolio in 2018 with the increased capacity of our new, state-of-the-art manufacturing line."
