Atlas Roof Deck Insulation is well established in the building materials industry through its ACFoam® family of products. Cores of these products are polyisocyanurate (polyiso) foam, the most widely used and accepted rigid insulation in use today. It is estimated that 60-65% of all commercial new or re-roofing applications nationwide use polyiso. Rigid polyiso is a safe, cost-effective, sustainable and energy efficient construction material. All Atlas ACFoam® polyiso insulations are QualityMarkcm certified, giving consumers an easy way to identify quality products that meet or exceed listed LTTR-values.
Some of the benefits of polyiso insulation are:
ACFoam® CrossVent
Designed for use over unventilated roof decks. CrossVent® allows heat to dissipate while providing a nailable surface and efficient insulation in a one-step labor saving process.
ACFoam® CrossVent RB
What if you could have a prefabricated, ventilating nailable insulation AND a Radiant Barrier? Now you can! CrossVent® RB combines superior R-values with radiant heat protection. Radiant heat is formed when rays of energy from the sun strike an object and transform from motion energy to heat energy. Standard nail base insulation does a good job of reducing convective and conductive heat transfer. However, it does little to reduce radiant heat transfer, which contributes significantly to the total heat flow into the building. Only CrossVent® RB substantially limits Conductive AND Radiant Heat Transfer.

ACFoam® Nail Base
ACFoam® Nail Base Insulation is ideal for use over sloped solid wood decks having a slope greater than 1/4" per foot. The OSB provides an excellent base for nailing non-asphaltic shingles.
FSC® Product Certification
Atlas Roofing Corporation®, for years a recognized leader in the manufacture of environmentally-friendly polyisocyanurate (polyiso) insulation, is now proud to announce that wood components used in the manufacture of its line of nailable insulation products have been granted the valued Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Chain of Custody Certification by Scientific Certification Systems (SCS).
SCS is an independent third-party certifier of environmental and sustainability purity claims, and is accredited by the FSC to certify companies to their international standards. FSC Chain of Custody certification means that Atlas Roofing® has met strict tracking requirements for ensuring that wood components used in Atlas® nailable insulation products represented as FSC Certified are manufactured with wood that comes from a well-managed forest.
Atlas® nailable insulation products that meet these strict FSC Chain of Custody Certification requirements are CrossVent®, CrossVent® RB, and Nail Base Insulation. These products are available at all Atlas polyiso manufacturing facilities in North America, can be specified in either FSC Pure, FSC Mixed, or FSC Recycled versions, and can contribute to gaining the Certified Wood LEED® credit.
