Stone embossed foam insulation from retro article

Hi:

    I would love to get some of the stone embossed insulation, but no one around me knows what I am talking about.  Does it nhave a special name or who manufactures it?  Any help appreciated in locating it.

I think you are referring to what is available from Woodland Scenics or Scenery Express.

No, it isn't the Scenic Express material. It is the FP Ultra Lite foundation insulation panel system for home exteriors.

Re: Stone embossed foam insulation from retro article

 One advantage of the panels is that because they're meant for outdoor use, the stones are fixed in place pretty well. The disadvantage (beyond the challenge of finding a store that sells them) is that the layer of stone makes them considerably heavier than plain foam insulation.

Thanks for reading CTT,

Terry
