*THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER OWENS CORNING
™
FANFOLD INSULATION PRODUCTS, WHICH ARE COVERED
UNDER A SEPARATE WARRANTY.
Who Is Covered
If you live in the United States or Canada and you are the
original consumer purchaser (i.e. the homeowner or building
owner, not the builder, installer or contractor) or any
transferee tracing back to the original consumer purchaser
(the “Purchaser”) of XPS Foam Insulation, you are entitled to
the bene ts of this warranty.
What Is Covered
Owens Corning, subject to the conditions and limitations set forth
herein, warrants that its XPS Foam Insulation shall, from the date
of installation and for the life of the home or building in which
originally installed, when such XPS Foam Insulation shall have been
properly installed and when subject to normal and proper use:
• be free from defects in material and/or workmanship that
materially affect its performance in the home or building in
which originally installed;
• meet performance requirements of ASTM C578 and CAN/
ULC-S701; and
• retain at least 90% of its advertised R-value**
Owens Corning’s obligations under this warranty will only take
effect if the XPS Foam Insulation is installed (including both the
original installation and reuse installation) in typical building and
construction assemblies in strict accordance with all applicable
Owens Corning speci cations, recommendations and
guidelines that were in effect at the time of such installation.
Owens Corning XPS Foam Insulation shall only be placed into
an assembly where the moisture transport mechanism is well
understood and determined to be acceptable in accordance
with accepted engineering analytical practice.
**THIS PART OF THE WARRANTY IS APPLICABLE ONLY
TO XPS FOAM INSULATION PRODUCT PRODUCED
AFTER JULY 1, 2010.
Remedy
If, during the warranty period and because of a covered
defect in material or manufacturing, the XPS Foam Insulation
is determined by sampling and tests (conducted as provided
below) to not meet any of the performance requirements
stated above, as Purchaser’s sole remedy, Owens Corning
will deliver to the Purchaser a quantity of equivalent
Owens Corning product to replace the non-performing
XPS Foam Insulation product or, at Owens Corning’s sole
discretion, refund to the Purchaser the original purchase price
of the non-performing XPS Foam Insulation product.
OWENS CORNING’S TOTAL LIABILITY/COST HEREUNDER,
FOR THE LIFE OF THE WARRANTY, IS LIMITED TO, AND
CAPPED AT, THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE PRICE OF THE XPS
FOAM INSULATION PRODUCT.
What Is Not Covered
This warranty does not apply to and Owens Corning shall
not be liable for any cause not expressly covered herein. This
warranty does not cover any problems with non-defective
material caused by conditions or handling beyond our control.
Some examples of conditions not covered by this warranty
include failures or defects in the XPS Foam Insulation caused by:
• causes beyond normal and proper use including, but not
limited to, acts of God, war or terrorism,  re,  ood, wind

accordance with Owens Corning’s published installation
instructions for the XPS Foam Insulation product; or
• failure to install the XPS Foam Insulation in compliance with
all applicable building codes; or

made after completion of installation, including but not
limited to structure changes, equipment installation, or other

improper storage, improper maintenance, neglect, accident,
casualty, vandalism or misuse of the XPS Foam Insulation,
or any other cause that disturbs or disrupts the XPS Foam
Insulation as installed; or
• any costs incurred by you that are not authorized in writing,
and in advance, by Owens Corning.
Further, this warranty does not apply to and Owens Corning
shall not be liable for the compatibility of any other product
(including, but not limited to adhesives or coatings) with the
XPS Foam Insulation product.
