Cool Vent

Cool-Vent is a venting composite insulation board that consists of a 4'x8' panel of closed cell rigid polyisocyanurate, a middle layer of solid wood spacers, creating a standard 1" air space and a top layer of APA/TECO rated OSB or plywood. Cool-Vent is the environmentally intelligent choice for steep slope roofing applications and is viable in green and sustainable building designs.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS
· Manufactured with NexGen Chemistry: Contains no CFCs, HCFCs, HFCs, is Zero ODP, EPA Compliant and has virtually no GWP
· 75% lateral air movement
· Optimal cooling and ventilation through 92% open air space
· The edges of the wood panels are rabbeted to provide for expansion and contraction of the wood while allowing the foam edges to be installed tightly to achieve thermal integrity across the entire roof deck 
· Wood spacers less than 12" apart; minimizes deflection
· Design flexibility: 1.5" and 2" wood spacers available for increased air flow (when eave ridge distance is over 20 feet)
· Exceeds requirements of ARMA Tech Bulletin 211-RR-24 regarding minimum depth of air space

PANEL CHARACTERISTICS
· Available in two grades of compressive strengths per ASTM C1289 Type V, Class 1 Grade 2 (20 psi) or Grade 3 (25 psi)
· Also available in ASTM C1289 Type V, Class 2 (H-Shield CG), Grade 2 (20 psi) or Grade 3 (25 psi)
· Available in 4' x 8' (1220mm x 2440mm) panels in overall thicknesses of 2.5" (64mm) to 5.0" (127mm)
OSB:  7⁄16" or 5⁄8"
Plywood:  5⁄8" or 3⁄4" CDX, Fire-Treated

ROOFING APPLICATIONS
