A standout innovation in this area is the XCI Ply Class A, an advanced polyiso insulation panel specifically designed to meet the demands of modern construction with a focus on energy efficiency and fire safety. Created with a fire-treated plywood facer and ASTM E84 Class A rated foam core, XCI Ply Class A is an excellent choice for projects that require superior fire performance. Its compliance with the rigorous NFPA 285 standards ensures it meets the latest building codes for fire safety, providing peace of mind for architects, builders and building owners alike.
Beyond its fire-resistant properties, XCI Ply Class A offers significant benefits in simplifying and improving the wall assembly process. By combining insulation and a fire-rated sheathing in a single product, it reduces the need for additional materials and streamlines installation. This efficiency not only cuts down on labor and material costs but also enhances the overall thermal performance of the building envelope by minimizing thermal bridging since the cladding does not need to be attached to the framing member. As a result, XCI Ply Class A stands out as a top choice for both new construction and retrofit projects aiming to achieve high levels of energy efficiency and fire safety in a cost-effective manner.
