Vertibreak® rainscreen insulation is an expanded polystyrene (EPS) exterior wall insulation panel system that provides both insulation and an air/drainage rainscreen cavity in one product, eliminating the need in many cases for the use of furring strips as your rainscreen cavity.
V6 was designed to be used in 2×4 or 2×6 construction and meets R23 to R25 (effective) in a typical 2×6 wall system (Step Code 1-3+) and it also meets R18 to R19 (effective) in a typical 2×4 wall system.

How can Vertibreak® help your project?
- Use of exterior insulation can move the dew point resulting in less condensation, mould & rot.
- Not as susceptible to shrinking, warping, cupping and other wood furring issues which may cause uneven or wavy siding
- Creates a more robust air barrier when used in conjunction with a taped housewrap system.
- Limits the ability for ‘ballooning’ of housewrap which may otherwise cause tears or air barrier failure.
