Key Benefits of Polystyrene Insulation

When it comes to insulation, our EPS sheets offer several advantages that make them a strong choice for your projects:

Excellent Thermal Efficiency

Thanks to the closed-cell structure of EPS, our insulation sheets achieve outstanding U-values, significantly reducing energy loss. This helps maintain comfortable temperatures in residential and commercial properties, ultimately lowering energy bills.

Lightweight & Easy to Handle

Our insulation sheets are designed for ease of use. They are simple to cut, lift, and install, which speeds up the installation process on site. This feature is particularly beneficial for contractors aiming to optimise their workflow.

Versatile for Multiple Applications

Our EPS insulation can be used in walls, floors, roofs, and external insulation systems. This versatility ensures that you can find a suitable solution for a wide range of building projects.

Moisture & Rot Resistant

Ideal for damp-prone areas or under concrete slabs, our EPS sheets provide reliable moisture resistance, ensuring long-lasting performance in various environmental conditions.

Durable & Dimensionally Stable

Our insulation sheets maintain their performance over time without sagging, shrinking, or degrading, ensuring that your insulation solution lasts for years to come.

Cost-Effective & Long-Lasting

We offer high thermal performance at a competitive price point, making our insulation sheets an economical option with minimal maintenance required.

We understand that every project is unique. That's why we offer bespoke manufacturing on all insulation sheet orders, providing different thicknesses, densities, and board sizes to suit your exact specifications.

 

 

 

 

 

Common Applications of EPS Insulation Sheets

 

Our polystyrene insulation sheets are utilised in various applications, proving their versatility and effectiveness:

  • Wall Insulation: Suitable for solid wall, cavity wall, and external wall insulation (EWI) systems, our sheets enhance energy efficiency in buildings.
  • Floor Insulation: Ideal for insulating beneath concrete slabs, screeds, or timber floors, providing robust thermal performance and comfort.
  • Roof Insulation: Our EPS sheets can be used in both warm and cold roof constructions for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, ensuring optimal thermal regulation.
  • Cold Storage Facilities: Excellent for use in temperature-controlled environments such as walk-in freezers, chilled warehouses, and food production units, our insulation sheets help maintain essential temperature levels.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Frequently Asked Questions

How many insulation sheets do I need?

 

The number of insulation sheets required depends on several factors, including the area you need to insulate, the thickness of the sheets, and the insulation's R-value (thermal resistance). To determine the exact quantity, measure the total surface area to be insulated and divide it by the coverage area of each sheet. If you need assistance calculating your requirements, feel free to contact us at Polyscot Polystyrene Ltd, and we will be happy to help.

Are polystyrene insulation sheets energy efficient?

 

Yes, polystyrene insulation sheets are highly energy efficient. Their closed-cell structure provides excellent thermal insulation properties, resulting in outstanding U-values. This means they effectively reduce heat loss in buildings, contributing to lower energy bills and a more comfortable indoor environment.

Can EPS insulation be used for walls, floors, and roofs?

 

Absolutely! Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) insulation is versatile and suitable for a variety of applications. Our EPS insulation sheets can be installed in walls, floors, and roofs, making them an ideal choice for both new builds and renovation projects. Whether for solid wall insulation, floor insulation under concrete slabs, or roof insulation, our products deliver reliable performance across all applications.

Are polystyrene insulation sheets fire-resistant?

 

Polystyrene insulation sheets have a degree of fire resistance. However, they can be susceptible to ignition and can emit toxic fumes if they burn. To enhance safety, it's essential to follow building regulations and guidelines regarding fire safety. Additionally, we can provide information on fire-resistant coatings or treatments that can be applied to our polystyrene insulation products.

How do polystyrene insulation sheets compare to other insulation materials?

 

 

Polystyrene insulation sheets offer several advantages over other insulation materials, including:

  • Cost-Effectiveness: EPS insulation is generally more affordable compared to materials like fibreglass or mineral wool, making it a budget-friendly choice for many projects.
  • Thermal Performance: EPS provides excellent thermal insulation, often outperforming traditional materials in terms of U-value.
  • Lightweight and Easy to Handle: Compared to heavier materials, EPS sheets are easier to transport and install, which can save time and labour costs on-site.
  • Moisture Resistance: Unlike some insulation materials, EPS does not absorb water, ensuring long-lasting performance even in damp environments.
