BORA-FOAM - Polystyrene Foam Insulation Board Formulate
BORA-FOAM® is polystyrene foam insulation board formulated to be termite resistant with the addition of borates to the foam. Primarily designed for use in crawl spaces, it has a 3 mil poly on both sides of the board which allows for the attachment of poly floor liner directly to the board. The 2.5” foam board provides R-10 insulation.

How It Works
Insulation helps keep basements and crawl spaces dry, clean and comfortable. Unfortunately, insulations are susceptible to termite infestation and can trap moisture.
Termites love to live, work and eat in comfortable and protected surroundings. All untreated insulations can potentially provide this environment. Most of the U.S. is susceptible to termite activity. It is important that insulation products and systems account for the potential of termite infestation.
- Termites reduce insulation & system performance.
- Termites cause problems for structural systems.
- Costs to control termites can continue indefinitely.
