Halo Exterra products are rigid foam sheathing insulation made from BASF Neopor® 5300 Plus GPS (expanded polystyrene containing graphite), which offers up to 18% more R-value than conventional EPS.
Halo Exterra is coated with a reflective and clear laminate that is perforated to maintain breathability. Halo Exterra provides a breathable, waterresistive barrier for building envelopes, while providing continous insulation.
Halo Exterra is breathable up to 2” thick, and acts as a water-resistive barrier (does not require building wrap) for thicknesses of 9/16” or greater.
Features
Provides continuous insulation, which reduces thermal breaks
Increases the R-value of wall assemblies that cannot be achieved with cavity insulation alone
Acts as a water-resistive barrier - eliminates the need for house wrap when the joints are sealed and taped. This reduces air leakage and ensures moisture transmission through the cladding will drain to the outside. A house wrap is not required with Exterra for thicknesses 9/16” or greater
Contains perforations, which allow Exterra to breathe. Because Exterra is breathable, a vapor barrier may be required for the wall assembly. Exterra remains breathable with thicknesses up to 2 inches
Reduces heat gains in warm climates when an air gap is provided between Exterra and the cladding.
R-5 per Nominal inch (Based on Thickness of 1-1/16”)
Compresive Resistance
10 psi (70 kPa)
Designed to completely seal and insulate exterior above-grade walls in residential, multi-residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, resulting in energy efficient building envelopes.
