Rigid panel

A multi-family residential building under construction with rigid panel exterior insulating sheathing

Rigid panel insulation, also referred to as continuous insulation,[1] can be made from foam plastics such as polyurethane (PUR), polyisocyanurate (PIR), and polystyrene, or from fibrous materials such as fiberglass, rock and slag wool. Rigid panel continuous insulation is often used to provide a thermal break in the building envelope, thus reducing thermal bridging.
