High Density EPS Insulation upgrades the thermal properties of a building, improving U-values, reducing the risk of water penetration and condensation. EPS boards can be used on timber, masonry and system-built properties as well as for tile hanging and a wide range of rendering systems. It is designed to be applied externally to masonry or timber-backed walls using adhesive and mechanical fixings. EPS boards can also be installed in the cavity void if the property is being insulated using cavity wall insulation.
EPS insulation is made from rigid polystyrene boards cut from moulded blocks of Expanded Polystyrene. The closed-cell nature of the boards ensures a consistent thermal and compressive performance throughout the lifetime of the building.
High Density EPS Insulation offers superior strength, high levels of impact resistance and protection against water ingress. This system provides an efficient and cost-effective solution. Its closed-cell structure inhibits water absorption and it is unaffected by the normal range of climatic conditions.
The most popular material used in external wall insulation systems, one of the stand-out benefits of using EPS insulation for your project is that it’s great value. Choosing a cost-effective insulation board such as EPS means that you can cut down on cost without sacrificing quality or thermal performance. When installing EPS as part of an external wall insulation system, applicators will also find that the associated materials required for the installation of this particular material are available at a much lower cost. This is because EPS is such a lightweight material, the required adhesive is of a much lower strength and the fixings are plastic rather than metal. EPS is also a non-breathable material and so lower-cost thin coat renders can be used in combination
