PAC-Shield CV

Roofing Insulation

PAC-Shield CV is a ventilated composite insulation panel designed to optimize roof performance. Its built-in air gap and high-efficiency insulation help control heat transfer, reduce ice dams, and improve indoor air quality—making it ideal for steep-slope applications using metal, slate, tile or shingle roof systems.

Overview

PAC-Shield CV is a composite insulation panel that combines high thermal performance with built-in roof ventilation. It features a 4×8-ft. layer of closed-cell rigid polyisocyanurate (ISO), integrated solid wood spacers that create a consistent 1-inch air gap, and a top layer of APA/TECO-rated OSB or plywood for secure nailing and support.

Designed for use with metal roofing, slate, tile, and shingles, PAC-Shield CV improves energy efficiency by reducing heat transfer through the roof. It delivers R-values ranging from R-5.7 to R-20.5 for strong thermal resistance, helping to reduce energy consumption and costs year-round. The ventilated design promotes airflow beneath the roof system, minimizing temperature fluctuations that can lead to ice dams and issues like oil canning.

PAC-Shield CV is manufactured using eco-friendly NexGen Chemistry, with no CFCs, HCFCs or HFCs, and zero ozone depletion potential. It supports healthy indoor air quality by reducing trapped moisture and meets key building code requirements and standards, including ASTM C1289 and the International Building Code (IBC).

Ideal for steep-slope applications of 3:12 or greater, PAC-Shield CV enhances both performance and sustainability in ventilated roof assemblies. For lower-slope installations, a non-vented nailable polyiso panel is recommended. 

Advantages of using the PAC-Shield CV venting system include:

  • Enhanced passive ventilation: PAC-Shield CV incorporates a built-in 1-in. air space with wood spacers, providing more than 92% open air space and 75% lateral air movement
  • High R-values: Polyiso core delivers R-5.7 to R-20.5 for strong thermal resistance and energy efficiency
  • Extended roof life: PAC-Shield CV reduces heat buildup and thermal stress, helping to protect panels and materials for longer-lasting roof performance
  • Prevent ice dams: Airflow keeps the roof temperature constant, further eliminating hot and cold spots on the roof where ice dams are formed
  • Moisture control: Ventilation helps reduce trapped moisture, preventing mold and damage, especially in humid climates
  • Sustainability and compliance: Made with eco-friendly NexGen Chemistry, PAC-Shield CV satisfies requirements of codes such as ASTM C1289 and the IBC

Applications 

PAC-Shield CV is custom built to incorporate the individual specifications of the building designer. PAC-Shield CV is for use on slopes of 3:12 or greater (for lower slope considerations see PAC-Shield Nail Base). 

  • To achieve optimal thermal performance, PAC-CLAD recommends installation of a multi-layered system with staggered joints. 

Applicable construction types include: 

  • Non-insulated Cathedral and Vaulted Ceilings 
  • Exposed ceiling designs beneath steel, plywood, tongue & groove deck types in commercial and residential constructions 
  • Log Home applications 
  • Post & Beam constructions 

Acceptable Roof Coverings: 

  • Standing Seam Metal Roof Systems 
  • Shingles 
  • Slate (Natural and Synthetic) 
  • Tile 

 Panel Characteristics 

  • Manufactured with NexGen Chemistry: Contains no CFCs, HCFCs, HFCs, is Zero ODP, EPA Compliant and has virtually no GWP 
  • 75% lateral air movement 
  • Optimal cooling and ventilation through 92% open air space 
  • ASTM C1289 Type II, Class 1, Grade 2 (20 psi) 
  • Available in 4’ x 8’ (1220mm x 2440mm) panels in overall thicknesses of 2.5” (64mm) to 5.0” (127mm) 
  • Multiple Substrate Types Available:
  • The edges of the wood panels are rabbeted to provide for expansion and contraction of the wood while allowing the foam edges to be installed tightly to achieve thermal integrity across the entire roof deck 
  • Wood spacers less than 12” apart; minimizes deflection 
  • Design flexibility: 1.5” and 2” wood spacers available for increased air flow (when eave ridge distance is over 20 feet) 
  • Exceeds requirements of ARMA Tech Bulletin 211-RR-24 regarding minimum depth of air space
