While expanded polystyrene offers greater flexibility and versatility, extruded polystyrene provides higher long-term R-values and thermal performance. A resilient and robust construction material, Styroboard XPS can be used across a range of building and construction applications – both residential and commercial.
When insulation comes into contact with water it can have an adverse effect on its ability to thermally insulate; but when faced with extreme weather conditions, Styroboard XPS still preserves its thermal and physical properties thanks to its high-density cell structure, making it practically impervious to water.
Dimensionally stable, organically inert and moisture resistant, Styroboard XPS meets a number of key requirements in structural and civil engineering. With superior compressive strength and higher, long-term R-Values Styroboard XPS is suitable for use on floors subjected to engineered loads and constant traffic, as well as insulation for inverted roofs, rooftop gardens, parking decks and as commercial purlin roof spacers.
