Insul-SHIELD® Black

Johns Manville Insul-SHIELD® Black is a series of flexible, semi-rigid or rigid thermal and acoustical fiberglass insulating boards for custom curtainwall applications. Insul-SHIELD Black is fire-resistant and noncombustible, available faced and unfaced, and designed to be used in new and retrofit construction, metal panel buildings and in general construction.

USE:

• New and Retrofit Construction – Insul-SHIELD insulation provides thermal and acoustical insulating values for exterior curtain wall cavities, parking structures, mechanical rooms, theaters, restaurants, casinos and other commercial construction applications. 
• Custom Curtain Wall Construction – Insul-SHIELD is exceptionally well suited to curtain wall construction in terms of both installation and performance. When used in the exterior envelope of steel-framed buildings, it helps reduce heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. The result is an attractive, efficient thermal enclosure that cuts long-term energy expenses and improves lifecycle costs.
• Standard Metal Panel Construction – Insul-SHIELD is offered in a variety of sizes, densities and facings for on-the-job or in-the-shop insulation of metal panel buildings such as power plants, assembly buildings, sports arenas and other commercial facilities.
• General Construction – Insul-SHIELD provides thermal protection for masonry or concrete structures such as shopping centers, banks and many other types of low-rise commercial or institutional buildings. It is also ideal for use in parking garage ceilings.
• Theaters – Faced Insul-SHIELD Black and Black Coated Roll is an ideal backdrop for theater screens. The opaque surface absorbs light, eliminating concern about back-scatter into the viewing arena.
  

FEATURES:

• Acoustically Efficient - Reduces transmission of sound through roofs, ceilings, floors and walls.
• Fire-Resistant - Flame Spread of 25 or less and Smoke Developed of 50 or less.
• Noncombustible - Unfaced I/S 150, I/S 300 and I/S 600 are non combustible.
• Moisture-Resistant - Vapor-retarder facings resist water vapor transmission.
• Noncorrosive - Prevents acceleration of corrosion to pipes, wiring and metal studs.
• Durable - Will not rot, mildew or otherwise deteriorate, preventing slumping and uninsulated voids.
• Easy to Handle - Lightweight; maintains its physical integrity during handling.

PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGES

• Cost-effective: lightweight, and easy to handle and fabricate so installation is fast and total applied cost is low.
• Thermally Efficient: provides effective resistance to heat transfer.
• Sound Control: reduces transmission of sound through roofs, ceilings, floors and walls.
• Fire-resistant: all Insul-SHIELD products provide fire resistance.
• Moisture-resistant: vapor-retarder facings resist water vapor transmission.
• Durable: Will not rot, mildew or otherwise deteriorate, preventing slumping and uninsulated voids.
• Easy to Handle: unlike some products that are friable, fiber glass maintains its physical integrity during handling.
• Self-supporting: Insul-SHIELD boards are rigid enough to be self-supporting, and can be attached with minimal
  securement to a variety of surfaces.
