In last year’s “Getting Started” post, we shared some handy tips for building with Halo®’s Exterra, Subterra, and Interra insulation boards. This year, we’re kicking it up a notch with the release of detailed, illustrated install guides for each of the Halo® series. This post will give you a brief recap of what each install guide contains and mention a few other essential training resources.

Halo Exterra

Halo®’s Exterra insulation series is designed specifically for exterior applications. This product excels thanks to its high, stable R-values and perforated laminate, which keeps water out of the wall cavity while letting vapor escape to the outside, all of which helps to keep walls dry and healthy in colder climates.

Halo Subterra & Subterra Plus

Halo® Subterra is a laminated rigid insulation product tailor-made for the rigors of below-grade use.

Subterra Plus features a cross-woven laminate that withstands all sorts of job site traffic and safely directs water away from the waterproofing at foundation walls. Used beneath the slab, Subterra Plus has also been tested to be an effective Radon barrier.

Halo Interra & Interra Plus

Halo® Interra creates a robust, multifunctional layer of interior continuous insulation. It comes with a built-in vapor barrier and a laminate that can reflect heat back inside the home.

Plus, in residential and commercial occupancies of many US jurisdictions, Halo’s Interra Plus can be used without a thermal barrier, such as drywall.
