Continuous insulation

Using exterior continuous insulation is a proven method for meeting ever more stringent green building standards and energy codes for residential, multifamily and commercial construction. PermaBASE CI® Insulated Cement Board is a composite cement board that combines the strength and benefits of PermaBASE® Cement Board with rigid insulation to create an ideal substrate for exterior finishes that meet or exceed most continuous insulation requirements.

PermaBASE CI helps contractors achieve the energy rating they need while also providing a substrate that is ready for exterior veneers such as stone, brick, tile and stucco. It is available in thicknesses that have R-values of R-4 and R-6 for warmer climates, R-10 for temperate climates and R-16 for cold climates. PermaBASE CI also has NFPA 285 approvals.
