Multi-purpose commercial insulation has highest recycled content

WABASH, Ind., Nov. 9 / -- Thermafiber, Inc., has launched its new VersaBoard product line -- Thermafiber's newest product designed to meet multiple needs in commercial construction.

VersaBoard is available in four densities (3.5 to 8.0 pcf). Like all Thermafiber insulation, VersaBoard is engineered to provide thermal insulation, fire protection and exceptional sound and noise absorption. Thermafiber can apply a variety of facings to VersaBoard during manufacturing to meet the aesthetic and functional needs of a building.

"VersaBoard is designed for multiple applications in commercial buildings--such as parking garage under decking and mechanical rooms. The versatility of this product will open the door to other areas of the building for Thermafiber."
