The regular white or blue foam sheets are low in their R-Factor.
I was going to use Celotex, but this has gone from the market. However Dow Industries who bought out Celotex, have a similar product range:
It is a product called Tuff-R and Super Tuff-R. They both have the same R value per inch, which was R-7.2 and is now R-6.5 due a different blowing process and to a different ASTM number.

Using blue board? Read the warnings on it, this product must be covered, can omit harmful gases. The info we have is that it must be used towards the out side (between stud and siding). |

If you go with the r/m board 1 inch thick double thick you end up with about 6.5 R make sure it is the foil backed one.also 1/8 the cost of spray foam my coach stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter |
