Polyiso insulation board is a thermo-set, rigid, closed-cell polyisocyanurate foam insulation used in both new and retrofit wall and roofing applications. In the trade, commercial polyiso insulation board used in wall applications is referred to as "wall insulation," while residential polyiso insulation board used in wall applications is referred to as "sheathing." Since the disappearance of phenolic insulation board from the Canadian market, polyiso insulation board is the only thermo-set insulation used in Canada.
