Styroboard XPS

Extruded polystyrene (XPS) is rigid foam underslab insulation.

Styroboard XPS has become the material of choice for home builders, specifiers, architects and engineers due to its high compressive strength and excellent thermal performance.
Truly a green building product, Foamex XPS products contain up to 100% recycled polystyrene, which is diverted from landfill.

XPS foam meets many key structural and civil engineering requirements because it is dimensionally stable, organically inert and practically impervious to water.
With superior compressive strength and higher long-term R-Values, it 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 commercial purlin roof spacers.

 FAQs about StyroBoard XPS

What is Extruded Polystyrene (XPS)?

Extruded polystyrene (XPS) is rigid foam providing a strong, lightweight and flexible insulation solution that is resistant to water absorption, making it ideal for a range of building and commercial applications.

What is the difference between XPS and EPS?

Extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam is a rigid insulation that is formed with a polystyrene polymer and manufactured using an extrusion process. This rigid foam provides a strong, lightweight and flexible insulation solution that is resistant to water absorption. XPS foam board is ideal for a range of commercial uses – from wall and ceiling insulation, cool rooms & refrigeration, under concrete slabs, and even for architectural modelling or hobby model making.

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam is a closed-cell insulation that’s manufactured by ‘expanding’ the polystyrene polymer. Produced in block form, it is converted for use across many applications including wall insulation and architectural profiles, void forms, protective packaging, cold storage, refrigeration units and sign-writing displays.

What is the lifespan of XPS foam?

Rigid foam boards such as StyroBoard XPS provide energy efficiency and constant insulation over the lifetime of the building, providing long-term benefits.
