Polystyrene insulation is a type of a rigid foam insulated materials, commonly used in residential and commercial properties. It is waterproof and insulated well enough against extreme temperatures and noise.
Polystyrene is a thermoplastic substance, normally existing in solid state at room temperature, but melting if heated (for molding or extrusion), and becoming solid again when cooling off. Pure solid polystyrene is a colorless, hard plastic with limited flexibility. It can be cast into molds with fine detail. Polystyrene can be transparent or can be made to take on various colors.
A high performance polystyrene insulation board which provides an insulated storage deck in your loft. This energy saving product prevents heat loss through the roof of your home. Space Board provides a solid storage deck, making it ideal in combination with Space Blanket or Space Combi-Roll.
There are two types of polystyrene that is used for insulation: expanded and extruded polystyrene.
Expanded polystyrene foam (EPS) is usually white and made of expanded polystyrene beads.It is commonly packaged as rigid panels (size 4 by 8 or 2 by 8 square feet), which are also known as "bead-board.It is an extremely versatile material, produced in various densities, it is strong, though lightweight, giving it excellent impact resistant cushioning ideal for packaging, it has specific thermal qualities for insulated materials, and is environmentally friendly.Expanded polystyrene can be recycled economically.
Extruded polystyrene foam (XPS) has air inclusions which gives it moderate flexibility, a low density, and a low thermal conductivity.Extruded polystyrene material is also in crafts and model building, particularly architectural models. Foamed between two sheets of paper, it makes a more uniform substitute for corrugated cardboard.
Polystyrene Insulated materials can increase the budget of building a house but yes, once it is insulated, the savings on heating and cooling can allow the homeowner to recover the extra cost from low energy bills!
