Saving truckloads: Carlisle SynTec Systems introduces ThermaThin™ 7 roofing insulation, designed to save time and improve performance

Exclusive first look available at Carlisle’s booth #2501 at the International Roofing Expo (IRE), January 20–22 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Carlisle SynTec Systems, the industry leader in single-ply roofing for more than 55 years, today announced the introduction of ThermaThin™ 7, a next-generation insulation delivering R-7 per inch, compared with R-5.7 per inch for standard polyiso. With higher R-value in a thinner profile, ThermaThin 7 reduces truckloads, simplifies material handling and logistics and advances overall roofing system performance. 

ThermaThin 7 continues Carlisle’s longstanding commitment to being first to market with customer-driven innovations that deliver energy efficiency and labor savings. 

“Our job is to create high-performance roofing systems that save applicators time and deliver consistent, reliable results,” said Jason Taylor, president of Carlisle Construction Materials. “ThermaThin 7 provides meaningful project savings by reducing trucks on-site, simplifying unloading and staging and accelerating installation while meeting the energy efficiency demands of today’s commercial projects.” 

Cut the profile, not the performance  

Together, these benefits reinforce Carlisle’s leadership in advancing systems that improve productivity on the roof and deliver long-term value to building owners, including projects with high R-value requirements like cold storage facilities. 

• At least 20% fewer truckloads: Lowers freight costs and keeps the jobsite less congested. 
• Installation efficiency: Reduces roof profile by ~17% while maintaining R-value, minimizes the need to raise curbs or parapets. 
• Superior thermal performance: Maintains code-compliant assemblies with thinner roofing profiles and improved efficiency in cold temperatures. 

Leading commercial roofing contractors across the U.S. have expressed strong interest in ThermaThin 7 and are exploring its use on upcoming projects. 

Beldon Roofing Company – Hector Castro, general manager, cold storage division “Cold storage roofs are big jobs with a lot of material moving every day. Using ThermaThin 7 means less to stage and handle on site, the bundles disappear faster and that helps us keep the job moving and get off the roof sooner.” 

KPost Company – Chris Evans, vice president of estimating 
“Roof assembly thickness can pose huge challenges on projects. When you can hit the required R-value with a thinner board, everything gets easier. There’s less material to handle, fewer trucks to manage and fewer issues around flashings and transitions. That will be a big advantage, especially on large jobs.” 

Schrader Roofing Company of Lubbock – Robbie Sanders, project manager 
“Thinner boards, fewer bundles and fewer truckloads will make a real difference for us. Less handling will help the job move faster and run more smoothly.” 

Exclusive first look at IRE

Attendees will be able to experience side-by-side assembly comparisons, estimate time and labor savings and speak directly with product experts to learn more about performance advantages.
