R-Control® Perform Guard EPS is a termite resistant insulation for perimeter and underslab applications. It stops energy loss at the foundation and slab. The application of insulation in these areas helps to meet local, state, and national energy codes.

Perform Guard EPS is stable and has very low moisture gain when used in properly drained designs. Perform Guard EPS retains 95% of its R-value even at 4% moisture gain. Perform Guard EPS may also be used on the interior of foundation walls as crawl space insulation.

Advantages
  • Resistant to termites
  • Meets code requirements for ground contact
  • Stable R-Value
  • No CFC, HCFC or HFC
  • Less cost & comparable performance to extruded polystyrene
  • Warmer foundations and basements
  • Dew point moved to outside of wall
  • Compression protection from expansive soils

    Specifications
    Perform Guard EPS as Perimeter/Underslab Insulation shall be installed as shown on drawings. Use R-Control Do-All-Ply® and/or fasteners for attachment. Provide type (specify), size (specify) and thickness (specify). Install in compliance with manufacturers application guidelines and applicable building codes. Note: provide drainage away from Perform Guard EPS for optimum performance. Protect material during installation, backfilling, concrete pouring, or related operations. Perform Guard EPS must be protected from exposure using a weather resistive covering.
