Halfback®H20

When insulating & managing moisture is a top priority, we've got you covered.

Halfback H20 features built-in drainage grooves to keep the wall dry.

Maximum Moisture Management

HalfbackH20 features built-in moisture management grooves that allow bulk water to efficiently drain down the wall and away from the home.

Versatility

The flat face of HalfbackH20 makes it is versatile enough to be used with any kind of siding, including fiber cement, engineered wood, shakes, scallops, and stone.

Manages Water Vapor

An average household produces 4-6 gallons of water vapor inside daily. HalfbackH20 features a perm rating up to 3.5, allowing moisture to escape the home. This reduces the chance of mold and mildew growth, creating a healthier home and longer lasting siding.

Halfback H20 does more than manage moisture.

Moisture Management

Halfback H20 is made with StayDry Technology®, a proprietary manufacturing process that makes the insulation 3x more breathable than comparable products. With a perm rating of up to 4.6, it helps protect the home from potential moisture damage, letting water vapor generated inside the home escape.

Proven Energy Efficiency

Continuous Insulation powered by GPS (Graphite Polystyrene) Foam. Holds its R-Value: After extreme environmental testing, held its R-value in conditions that involved both constant thermal gradient and cycling between large temperature and humidity variations.

Termite Resistant

Protected from insect degradation with a specially formulated insect inhibitor that’s safe for humans and pets.

Stability and Durability

Halfback H20 is adaptable in size, thickness, shape and density, providing maximum flexibility and durability.

Fire Performance

Halfback H20 is formulated with specially modified materials that are manufactured with a flame retardant (ASTM E84/UL 723).
