GAF commenced production at its fifth polyisocyanurate insulation plant in Peru, Ill., producing GREENGUARD-Gold certified EnergyGuard insulation products and adding 70 jobs to the local economy. 

According to Justin Koscher, president of the Polyisocyanurate Insulation Manufacturers Association (PIMA), rooftops are crucial for energy efficiency and can benefit from polyisocyanurate insulation, highlighting opportunities for roofing contractors to improve building performance.

GAF supported a mental health and recovery center in Peru, Ill., the location of its fifth polyiso plant, as part of its GAF Community Matters initiative by donating materials for a new roof.

The plant, which produces energy-efficient insulation products, was built with the goal of achieving LEED Platinum status.

Atlas' capacity improvements in Mississippi and Ohio are scheduled to be completed by the middle of 2024.

GAF EnergyGuard NH Polyiso offers excellent thermal value and is free of potentially hazardous flame retardant chemicals, making it better for the environment.

Easy to install and more energy efficient than comparable products, polyiso is better, cleaner and more cost-effective living through science. 

PIMA recently published new and updated technical and performance bulletins that help increase the building industry’s understanding of polyiso insulation, its applications and its benefits.
