EPS thermal insulation

Energy-efficient buildings and high-quality living spaces cannot be imagined without expanded polystyrene [EPS]. In developed countries, the situation is such that 90% of all facades are insulated with expanded polystyrene. In most thermal insulation systems, styrofoam is irreplaceable due to its exceptional properties. We use it wherever necessary to execute thermal and sound insulation of walls, roofs and floors and in other parts of building structures.

The investment in styrofoam (EPS) thermal insulation from an energy standpoint is paying off in a relatively short time. Styrofoam is not disturbed by water and humidity from the environment, as the cells are “welded” under the pressure of hot steam and therefore no additional (harmful) binders are needed. The term “styrofoam” has become synonymous with expanded polystyrene insulation boards, known as EPS. The properties of the EPS raw material are such that the granules at high temperatures increase their volume up to 60 times. In the manufacturing process, high pressures are created diromg expansion in the mold. For this reason, as well as the presence of high temperature and water vapor, the material is welded (joined) together without binders harmful to human health.

The space between the “welded” cells provides the panels with extraordinary vapor permeability and low thermal conductivity due to the stationary air, which is such an excellent insulator. In addition, it is environmentally friendly and is the only 100% recyclable thermal insulation material that contains only one polymer and has no additional binders and impregnations. Given the vapor permeability, it is much better than wood. Due to all these properties, styrofoam is classified as an universal thermal insulation material.
