Comparing & Understanding R-Shield's Warranties for Rigid Insulation Products & Systems

When selecting insulation, it is important to prioritize both performance and warranty. Different types of insulation come with distinct warranted differences, especially among rigid insulation options. Some warranties decrease their coverage significantly over time (much like the thermal values of some insulation products), while other warranties are stable for the life of the warranty.  A sound thermal insulation warranty comes from Premier Building Systems, maker of R-Shield insulation, which provides a 50-year warranty for top-notch thermal and moisture resistance, making it a stable, versatile, and cost-effective choice.

In this article, we will explore the warranty information provided by Premier Building Systems for their R-Shield insulation, highlighting the key aspects and benefits.

1. Performance Assurance

Premier Building Systems' R-Shield insulation warranty serves as a testament to the product’s quality and performance. It provides assurance that the insulation will function as intended and deliver the specified benefits, including maintaining thermal performance, resisting moisture intrusion, and preserving its structural integrity for decades of service life. Be sure to review warranties and ensure that the performance warranty does not decrease over time. If a manufacturer decreases its warranty coverage this is a clear indicator that the performance cannot be backed up and will also decrease over time. A decrease in thermal performance (other than stated performance) can drastically affect other building systems, such as proper HVAC sizing. R-Shield's technical bulletin's explain the importance of consistent thermal performance, and its effect on other systems. How a warranty addresses performance an excellent guide to determine if the products will actually stand the test of time.  Explore all of the warranted performance advantages of R-Shield over other options here.

Premier Building Systems stands behind the quality and durability of their R-Shield insulation, offering a warranty that provides coverage for a long-term specified duration. More than 60 years of in situ field testing and independent research back R-Shield’s warranted thermal, strength & moisture performance. 

The exact duration of every warranty may vary based on the specific insulation product applications, so it's essential to review the warranty documentation or contact the manufacturer for precise details. The warranty duration demonstrates the manufacturer's confidence in the product's performance over a specified period. Choosing a warranty that is consistent for the entire warranty period is important to ensure you are choosing a product that the manufacturer will stand behind. 

3. Transferability

In many cases, warranties are transferable, allowing the coverage to be transferred to subsequent property owners or parties. Premier Building Systems' insulation warranty for R-Shield products may have transferability options, enabling the coverage to be transferred to future owners. 

This feature can be particularly valuable if the property is sold or transferred, providing added assurance to the new owners.

With the warranty, property owners can have confidence in the longevity and effectiveness of R-Shield insulation.
