2.6″ & 3″ R-Seal Rigid Envelope Insulation Panel

PRODUCT OVERVIEW.

R Seal is a comprehensive proprietary insulation system designed for metal building owners and erectors.

R-Seal provides the highest value in the industry by exceeding energy code and air/water barrier requirements for continuous insulation at the lowest installed cost. This system integrates seamlessly with metal building components, eliminates the need for batt insulation or banding, and delivers consistent results, especially critical for projects on tight schedules or in high-performance building zones in Ohio and across the USA.

Key Features & Benefits of the 3 Inch R-Seal Rigid Panel

The 3 inch R-Seal Panel delivers high-performance insulation that meets metal buildings’ practical and energy-efficiency needs across Ohio and the USA. Designed specifically for commercial buildings and pre-engineered structures, this panel provides unmatched benefits at the lowest installed cost.

  • Superior Thermal Performance: With its closed-cell polyurethane core, the R-Seal panel offers excellent R-values for continuous insulation, reducing heat transfer and enhancing indoor comfort.
  • Moisture and Air Barrier: The bonded PS facer resists water intrusion and acts as an effective air barrier, limiting air leakage and moisture damage.
  • Rigid and Durable: Engineered to endure tough job site conditions, the panel maintains structural integrity and performs well over the long term.
  • Code-Compliant: Designed to exceed requirements for insulation systems in Ohio and across the USA.
  • Fast, Clean Install: The tongue-and-groove joints and custom lengths reduce the need for additional framing and cutting on-site.

Whether it’s a retrofit or a new build, the 3 inch R-Seal rigid panel supports faster construction timelines while meeting code compliance and energy efficiency goals.
