Types of Roof Insulation

Foam-Control® PLUS+® & Foam-Control® Roof Insulation

Foam-Control® PLUS+® and Foam-Control® Roof Insulation are recognized for use in direct-to-deck applications.  UL Evaluation Report ER11812-01 and UL Roof Deck Construction No. 458 recognize Foam-Control® PLUS+® 150 up to 6.7" and Foam‑Control® 100 up to 10” being installed directly over steel roof decks along with a Class A, B or C roof covering of 80 mils or less.

ICC-ES Evaluation Report ESR-1006 recognizes Foam-Control® PLUS+® 150 up to 6" and Foam-Control® 100 up to 9” to be applied directly over steel roof decks along with a Class A, B or C roof covering of 45 mils or less.

Manufacturing procedures for roof insulation that are identified in quality control manuals include: material tracing, in-plant testing of product, random sampling of product by outside independent laboratories and labeling of finished product for in-field identification.


Atlas Molded Products’ quality assurance program is the most comprehensive in the molded polystyrene roof insulation industry. It allows for complete code compliance, certification to critical physical properties and roof listings from UL, FM and others.

Atlas Molded Products' molded polystyrene roof insulation is 100% recyclable and environmentally friendly. It contains no CFCs, HFCs, HCFCs or formaldehyde, and it comes with a 50-year thermal warranty.
