Features and benefits:
- Durable and long lasting, Styroboard EPS products are light in weight for easy installation, offer outstanding accoustic benefits, and provide superior thermal performance to ensure long term R values
- Weather resistant with low moisture absorbency, Styroboard EPS provides insulation from extreme temperature and noise.
- Styroboard EPS is 100% recyclable at all stages of its lifecycle. Foamex arrange for bagged offcuts from building sites to be picked up and put back into sustainable building products.
- All Styroboard EPS products are manufactured from a fire-retardant raw material and do not present as a fire hazard when correctly installed. Like other organic materials, polystyrene will burn when in contact with a flame, but it will self-extinguish when the fire source is removed

Environmental Properties
There are no ozone depleting or CFC gases produced during the manufacture of our Styroboard EPS products. Furthermore, for each kilogram of oil used in the manufacturing process, savings of up to 200kg heating fuel can be made over the average life of a house. In turn, this plays a positive role in reducing carbon dioxide emissions, and the effects of global warming.
