EPS FAQs

		EPS (expanded polystyrene insulation) is used for all types of construction, packaging and OEM applications. EPS has a 35-year history of proven performance. Thermal Performance Cost-effective thermal design is among the highest priorities in construction and thermal resistance (R-value) of an insulation assembly is the determining factor in thermal performance. EPS provides optimum cost value when compared to other rigid insulations of the same R-value design. Strength Characteristics EPS insulation products are available in a range of densities necessary to provide both structural integrity and cost effectiveness. Other rigid insulation products fail to provide this design flexibility due to limited density availability, and therefore they also cost more.
