DURO-GUARD ® ISO FOIL
Installation:
 Panels must be kept dry before, during and
after installation. Install only as much insulation
as can be covered the same day with
completed roofing.
 The use of multiple layers of insulation with
joints staggered a minimum of 6 inches
between layers is recommended to eliminate
thermal bridging.
 Abut panel edges together and stagger joints of
adjacent panels.
 Boards must be neatly fitted to roof deck and
around penetrations with no gaps greater than
¼ inch.
 Refer to the appropriate Duro-Last roof system
specification and detail drawings for deck
preparation and attachment requirements.
 Precautions must be taken to ensure that new
concrete decks have fully hydrated and do not
continue to release moisture.
Panel Attachment:
 Panels may be attached to the roof deck using
mechanical fasteners. Insulation adhesive or
hot bitumen are not acceptable to use with this
product.
Mechanical Attachment
 When installing multiple layers (which may
include insulation, cover boards and thermal
barriers) it is acceptable to mechanically secure
through all layers.
 Use fasteners and plates supplied by or
approved by Duro-Last, Inc.
Storage:
 Insulation must be protected from open flame
and kept dry at all times.
 Factory applied packaging is intended only for
protection during transit. Slit or remove the
packaging to prevent accumulation of
condensation.
 Store elevated (at least 3 inches) and
completely covered with a weatherproof
covering such as a tarpaulin.
 Do not use panels which are wet or damaged.
 Refer to PIMA Technical Bulletin No. 109:
Storage and Handling Recommendations for
Polyiso Roof Insulation for additional guidelines
(www.pima.org).
Limitations:
 Duro-Last, Inc. will not be responsible or liable
for any defects or problems related to building
or roof design by others, to deficiencies in
