Polyiso foam board

Sparky2968 | Posted in General Questions on

Hi, I recently obtained 3”x4x8 sheets of kraft faced polyiso foam board that was left over on a job site. I’m planning on insulating my crawl space walls and rim joists with foam board. My question is, will I have any issues if I use the faced polyiso on the rim joists.

thanks for any input
