Curtainboard™ 80

Curtainboard™ 80 is a higher-density semi-rigid mineral wool insulation board built for the most demanding curtain wall systems.

Strengthen your building envelope with PowerWool™ Curtainboard™ 80, a higher-density semi-rigid mineral wool insulation board engineered for maximum durability, fire protection, and long-term thermal performance.

Designed for demanding curtain wall systems, Curtainboard™ 80 delivers the highest density in the Curtainboard line — 8 lbs/ft³, twice that of Curtainboard 40 — for assemblies facing higher loads or more exposed conditions. Available in thicknesses from 1″ to 8″, it holds its shape and performance where lighter boards may fall short.

PowerWool™ Curtainboard™ 80 helps create safer, quieter, and more resilient buildings by resisting fire, repelling moisture, and maintaining stable R-4.2-per-inch thermal performance over time. It’s approved for use in Canada and the U.S., and suitable for substitution in rated NFPA 285 and ASTM E119 wall assemblies.

 

Key Performance Benefits
  • Noncombustible and fire resistant
  • Water- and moisture-repellent
  • Vapor permeable, supporting outward drying of wall assemblies
  • Excellent acoustic absorption for quieter interior environments
  • Highest density in the Curtainboard line (8 lbs/ft³) for demanding applications
  • Inorganic composition that does not promote mold or mildew growth
  • Stable R-4.2 per inch that does not degrade over time
