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 also
repels moisture and can be an exposed interior surface. 

"Historically our commercial insulation products have been designed and tested
for specific construction applications, like curtain walls, interior walls and
rain screens," says Michael Williams, Thermafiber's Executive Vice President.
"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." 

Like all Thermafiber mineral wool products, VersaBoard has the highest
recycled content (up to 90%) of any commercial insulation. VersaBoard
contributes up to 33 LEED® credits across four categories. Thermafiber mineral
wool insulation helps buildings conserve energy, control noise, improve indoor
air quality, improve life safety and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
