  • RMAX ThermaWallSilver enlarge

    RMAX ThermaWallSilver

    RMAX ThermaWallSilver is an environmentally friendly EPS multi purpose insulation product made from Neopor for even better performance. ThermaWallSilver’s insulation effect is up to 20% higher than conventional EPS with the same thickness, improving insulation for streamlined designs and providing easier installation. Neopor contains small particles of graphite that function as infrared reflectors that reduce thermal conductivity, improving insulation with less material.  ThermaWallSilver will last the life a building and is suitable for multiple internal and external applications including: exterior insulation and finishing systems (EIFS), ceiling insulation, exterior insulation, cavity insulation, insulating concrete forms (ICFs), panel construction and floor insulation like RMAX ThermaFlex.
