Perform Guard EPS Drywall Backer adds a continuous energy saving insulation layer for the building interior. Perform Guard EPS Drywall Backer is a rigid insulation that will not slump or lose R-value. It is clean, non-itchy, and easy to install.

Scored Perform Guard can be provided for wood stud, metal lath or J-track and Z-channel systems.

Vertical or horizontal attachment of gypsum board or other code compliant thermal barriers progress quickly.

Advantages

  • Continuous insulation at wall line
  • Stable R-value material
  • No CFC, HCFC, or HFC
  • No slumping or settling
  • No need for intensive framing labor and material
  • Fully code accepted when used with standard thermal barriers
  • 4' x 8' standard size
  • Non-itchy
  • Resistant to termites

    Specifications

    Perform Guard EPS Drywall Backer will be installed tightly where shown on drawings. Provide ASTM type, size, and thickness as stated in drawings or as part of this specification.

    Apply material between field applied attachment channels or through integral factory furring channels. Use fastening systems compatible with the building substrate and insulation system. Use frequency recommened by fastener manufacturer.

    If adhesives are required, use R-Control Do-All-Ply® or those recommended with EPS and the substrate. With Drywall Backer secured into place, drywall or thermal barrier application may commence.

    Perform Guard EPS Drywall Backer comes in flat sheets or can be scored in multiple width locations for convenient installation.

    Perform EPS Guard Backer can also be used for exterior application, provided exterior cladding is applied per code and cladding manufacturer's recommendations are followed.

    Protect material during installation or related operations. Perform Guard EPS must be protected from exposure using a weather resistive covering.
