NOTES:
1. Interra available in R-3, R-5, R-7 & R-9, with thickness of 0.625", 1", 1.5" and 2", respectively. For more information refer to theHalo Material Property Data Sheet
and the Halo Installation Guide.
2. Dead air space between the drywall and Interra can provide an additional R-value of R-2.8 for air gaps of 3 4". To create dead air space, joints must be tape sealed
along wall perimeter.
3. Interra typical above-grade wall assembly complies with the following sections of the National Building Code of Canada 2010.
3.a.
9.25.2.2, "Insulation Materials." Complies with CAN/ULC S701, and listed with CCMC under report 14004-L.
3.b.
9.25.3.1, 9.25.3.3 & 9.36.2.10, which requires air barrier systems to be continuous and all joints taped or sealed.
3.c.
9.25.4.2, "Vapour Barrier Materials." A vapour barrier must have a permeance not greater than 60 ng/Pa-s-m². Independent testing has shown Interra to have
a vapour Permeance of 1.7 ng/Pa-s-m². Therefore, no additional vapour barrier is required.
3.d.
9.25.4.3, "Installation of Vapour Barriers." requires products that provide both the vapour barrier and insulation shall be installed on the warm side of the
assembly. Interra used on the interior side of exterior wall assemblies, ceilings, or roofs, provides both the insulation and vapour barrier requirements.
3.e.
9.25.5.1 requires materials used to control the transfer of heat, air and water vapour between conditioned and unconditioned space, exterior air, or the ground,
must have an air leakage less than 0.1 L/(s-m²) at 75 Pa, and a water vapour permeance not greater than 60ng/Pa-s-m².. Table A-9.25.5.1(1) lists EPS as
having an air leakage value of 0.02 L/(s-m²) at 75 Pa. Refer to Note 2b for vapour permeance of Interra.
3.f.
9.36.2.5, "Continuity of Insulation." Requires the insulation to remain continuous.
2.a.
9.36.2.9, "Air Tightness". A continuous air barrier, provided by Interra, can control
air leakage into and out of conditioned spaces.
