THERMAL INSULATION BLOCKS FOR INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS AND COLD STORAGE
LAST-A-FOAM® R-9300 Continuous Insulation Block Series couples a thermal barrier with high-strength structural support for a variety of cold-storage and industrial building applications. Made of high-density, rigid polyurethane foam, these construction thermal blocks extend building insulation from below ground to the roof. These insulation qualities reduce thermal bridging, which increases the building’s structural performance and improves thermal efficiency.
The R-9300 blocks are available in a wide range of compressive strengths to address industrial thermal construction applications, including 350, 500, 1,000, 1,500, 1,800, and 2,100 psi.
From structural thermal column bearing blocks to insulated metal panel (IMP) reinforcement blocks, our R-9300 blocks retain their physical properties for the life of the building. Its closed-cell structure is inert and locks out moisture, so it will never rot, dissolve in subgrade applications or promote corrosion of steel components. It also does not attract insects or vermin nor does it release any chemical compounds into the surrounding soil.
LAST-A-FOAM® R-9300 Continuous Insulation Blocks arrive on-site fully-cured, cut-to-size with pre-drilled anchor bolt holes for specific job requirements, allowing for fast and easy installation.
