Atlantic Builders Supply Introduces FlexxBoard25

In a significant development for builders and contractors, Atlantic Builders Supply Northeast has added FlexxBoard25, a high-performance insulation alternative, enhancing their product range following Tremco CPG Inc.'s acquisition of LiteForm LLC. FlexxBoard25 offers a robust solution for building applications, especially in a region known for its diverse climate challenges.

Understanding FlexxBoard25

FlexxBoard25 is composed of high-density expanded polystyrene (EPS), designed to provide a notable R-value of R-4.54 per inch, which translates to R-9 for the standard two-inch board. This insulation choice is tailored for both residential and commercial projects, promoting energy efficiency while resisting moisture, mold, and mildew. The insulation is especially effective for:

• - Under-slab insulation
• - Radiant-heated flooring
• - Perimeter insulation for foundations
• - Frost-protected shallow foundations
• - Driveways, sidewalks, and patios
• - Roofing systems and innovative structural-fill applications.

The product's unique textured surface allows it to bond seamlessly with freshly poured concrete, creating an effective thermal barrier that minimizes risks of shifting, cracking, or frost heaving.

Long-Term Performance Advantages

What sets FlexxBoard25 apart from traditional extruded polystyrene (XPS) insulation is its superior long-term moisture performance. A recent study from the EPS Industry Alliance highlighted that after 15 years in service, XPS displayed a moisture absorption of 19% and retained only 52% of its original R-value. In contrast, FlexxBoard25, utilizingEPS technology, showed just 5% moisture retention and an impressive 94% preservation of its R-value.

This performance is attributed to the higher vapor permeance of EPS, which facilitates the efficient exit of moisture, unlike XPS, which tends to trap moisture, thereby diminishing its thermal resistance over time. Furthermore, FlexxBoard25 does not rot or deteriorate, contains no harmful off-gassing materials, and ensures long-lasting dimensional stability.

Cost-Effective and Accessible

As a leading distributor of Tremco products, Atlantic Builders Supply is committed to making FlexxBoard25 accessible to contractors and builders across New England. The pricing strategy offers a competitive advantage with costs typically 15% to 20% lower than those for similar products available at larger retail outlets.

Moreover, clients located in Maine, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island can enjoy additional savings by picking up their orders directly from the company's facility in Greenland, New Hampshire, where no sales tax is charged, especially beneficial for substantial commercial purchases.
