Raise the Roof and Boost Performance
R-Boost™ Elevated Roof Insulation System
R-Boost is an economical roof insulation solution that achieves the increased levels of thermal performance the latest codes demand.
As localities across the country continue to adopt newer and more stringent energy codes, we know requirements to provide higher R-values and lower U-factors will be a key component to your building needs and give you a cost-effective competitive edge. R-Boost is a unique patent-pending design that features a bridge between an initial and secondary layer of blanket insulation – doubling the insulation capacity and meeting energy codes throughout the country.
Boost Thermal Performance
R-Boost can realize U-factors as low as 0.027, which meets the requirements of IECC 2024 (Climate Zones 1-7) and ASHRAE 90.1-2025 (Climate Zones 1-7) for United States. These levels of thermal performance are ideal for utilizing tradeoffs, or if you’re interested in seeking LEED® certification for your building project.
Boost Cost Savings
R-Boost is designed to work with American’s SS360, a standing seam roof system well-known for its performance, strength, and weathertightness. While engineered for functionality and the ability withstand the most extreme weather conditions, SS360 panels are also aesthetically pleasing, providing a clean, attractive look for nearly any application. When used in combination with R-Boost, this system provides you with a higher potential for total building system cost savings.
Boost Building Sustainability
With innovative products like R-Boost, American Buildings may contribute to your project’s LEED certification objectives:
- Our buildings are fabricated using Nucor steel, which is made from over 70% recycled-content, low-carbon steel that supports embodied carbon reduction strategies.
- High-reflectance standard cool coating options that may support Heat Island Reduction goals.
- Our buildings are 100% recyclable which can help support construction or demolition waste diversion efforts.
- R-Boost is designed to meet ASHRAE 90.1-2025 requirements and our panels are tested for air infiltration.
- Our roof systems are compatible with solar panel installations to support solar zone planning goals.
- Environmental product declarations (EPDs) and recycled-content documentation, where available.
