Polystyrene Under Concrete Floor Insulation
Moisture resitance and stable r value protects and insulates your concrete slab for a superior energy saving solution.
Polystyrene under concrete floor insulation. Designed for applications where high loads are expected it provides excellent compressive strength under concrete slabs. For exceptional strength and thermal insulation under concrete floors choose from expol s range of polystyrene eps and extruded polystyrene xps insulation boards. Trusted by kiwis for more than 20 years expol underfloor insulation is easy to install and is available in 4 convenient joist widths 560 470 410 360 mm. Rigid insulation boards is installed between the sleepers close to one another so that there are no gaps in the insulation.
The closed cell structure of polystyrene delivers thermal insulation and water resistance that lasts the life of the building. Finally you will need to add properly sized plywood. Extruded polystyrene xps is unique among widely available thermal insulation materials for its tolerance of damp or wet. For self installers full installation instructions are provided on all bags.
Then the chosen concrete floor insulation material i e. For self installers full installation instructions are provided on all bags. Expol thermaslab vh grade for concrete floor insulation expol thermaslab vh is a durable expanded polystyrene insulation solution that achieves r values above building regulation. A separating layer is then required over the insulation layer to protect it from the concrete slab.
Due to its exceptional performance and ease of use expanded polystyrene eps is the perfect insulation for walls floors ceilings and under concrete slabs. Performance where it counts expol eps and xps products won t degrade over time meaning thermal insulation performance is maintained for the life of the building. Expol underfloor insulation expol r1 4 and r1 8 meet and exceed the new residential tenancies act requirements. Unitherm is made from unipoly a light weight moulded polystyrene material with exceptional thermal insulation properties.
