What is Extruded Polystyrene Foam?
XPS foam's excellent resistance to moisture, imperviousness to rot,
mildew and corrosion, controlled compressive strength and ability to
maintain insulating power make it a premiere insulating material for
commercial, industrial and residential structures, as well as for
critical civil engineering uses.
XPS in Residential Applications
XPS insulation products will get the job done – adding comfort to
your home’s occupants, reducing your monthly utility bills and helping
to control moisture intrusion, all while protecting it against air
infiltration.
XPS in Commercial Applications
From beneath the ground up ... XPS serves commercial building
construction markets well by offering product lines that are strong,
but versatile. Thus, they are ideally suited to a variety of
applications in roofs, walls, and foundations.
The Energy-Efficient Advantage of XPS
According to a recent press release by EPA's Energy Star arm—in
2003, ENERGY STAR helped Americans save enough energy to power 20
million homes, reducing emissions equivalent to that of 18 million cars
-- while saving consumers $9 billion. The use of XPS insulation
products help this prestigious program achieve its goals.
The Moisture-Resistant Advantage of XPS
Extruded polystyrene foam is the best insulation you can choose
when it comes to resisting water moisture absorption. Without the need
for a facer or laminate, XPS products only absorb 0.3% by weight.
