SOLAR DRY
Quik-Therm Solar Dry Insulation (SDI) is a high performance tongue and groove continuous rigid insulation system. SDI is manufactured from superior closed-cell, lightweight and resilient Type 2 high density expanded polystyrene (EPS) covered with advanced metallic polymer facers.
Solar Dry is effectively impervious, however it is neither an air nor vapour barrier. On the inboard side of SDI are drying cavities that occupy ~75% of the surface. These cavities allow walls to drain, dry and disperse moisture to the outside. On the outboard side, furring materials such as wood or steel are mechanically fastened through SDI panels directly to framing members. The location for furring is identified by shallow depressions. A code compliant rain screen is achieved between SDI and the chosen cladding material
