Kingspan Insulation R- 5 , 1-in x 2-ft x 2-ft Unfaced Polystyrene Board Insulation

Right Size and Right Price for DIY Repair Project

A raised garden beds built in probably the 70's finally failed. However, it didn't just fall apart it created a series of unfortunate events by directing and holding water against the house. Probably for decades this situation had been eroding the sheathing, "insulation", footer to the garage, and the cement patio at the location. After replacing the concrete at this location of the patio, next came the garage footer (at the j bolt location); and finally the sheathing, "insulation", and s...

Perfect Jewelry Display Board

I was asked to create a display for necklaces and earrings for an upcoming estate sale. I initially went to my Lowe's store for a 4' x 8' foam insulation board, which I could cut to an appropriate size. However, I found the Kingspan Insulation R-5 1-in x 2-ft x 2-ft Unfaced Polystyrene Foam Board Insulation to be the ideal size. This product would have normally been used to insult an attic door, or some similar application. However, with a covering of rich colored fabric, the necklaces and e...

Perfect for small projects

I really like that I didn't have to buy a 4x8 sheet. I had a very small project that needed to be insulated and this product worked perfectly. It was easy to cut to size and easy to transport since it was in small sheets. I will definitely use this product again when all I need is a small piece

As good as the purple stuff

Was worried when I could not find the name brand product I'm used to at the orange competitor. And, I would have liked to use a faced product. However, for what this was, the quality was more than acceptable. It was easy to work with and performed as expected. Would buy again.

It works

I was using this to insulate an outdoor cat house. It cuts very easily with a razor blade and does keep the house very well insulated. I live in a colder climate and we have an outdoor cat and this insulation was perfect to keep the house at a comfortable temperature for him.

Side panel for window a/c

I wanted a solid side panel for my window a/c unit. My cat was pushing her way through the accordian one that comes with it. This worked perfectly! I cut it to size and just pressed it in place. It is snug and my cats are now sadly imprisoned in my house, unable to make their escape.

a mutli tool material

It is great and inexpensive for insulating or filling gaps in odd areas, for craft materials, and the odd project. It does have a strong grain you need to be aware when cutting. This size is more for the small craft or insulating project so, if you need a lot use the large size board for value.

Perfect for what I needed!

I am a crafter by hobby, and this foam was perfect for the project at hand. This thicker foam served as the base for a much larger project made using thinner sheets of the same kind of foam. It was sturdy and held up to travel and the weight of the rest of the structure. I'll definitely buy again.

What I did over my summer vacation.

Actually I bought the insulation board to build a small cover for the battery in my car. There may have been a battery box originally but I bought the car used and I have had a few batteries dry out. I cut two pieces from the sheet and placed them on the front and left side of the battery in order to keep the battery out of the hot air flow from the radiator and engine. Works so far!!

Thin, versatile, easy to use

I like the accordian aspect of the product. I can cover an entire front side of a house with a single pack without having to tape up multiple areas to obtain good coverage.
