Foamular extruded polystyrene green insulation by Austech External Building Products
By now, everyone knows the importance of insulation. Insulation provides
protection from temperature variations, saves money on heating/cooling bills and can add
value to homes. What people often miss is that some insulation is greener than others.
Foamular Extruded Polystyrene is a versatile, rigid insulation with high R-values and a
lifespan that far outstrip those of its competitors.
Foamular is produced using an environmentally friendly HCFC blowing agent in complete
accordance with United Nation Protocols regarding CFCs. By reducing CFCs Foamular is
helping to preserve the Ozone Layer and protect the environment
The versatility of Foamular's rigid insulation board means it can be used almost anywhere.
It can be used as insulation for basements, garage insulation, roof insulation membranes
and under slab insulation. The applications are unlimited.
The lightweight design of Foamular means it saves on transport costs. With a lighter load,
transportation vehicles require less fuel and contribute less to greenhouse gasses.
Foamular has incredibly high R-values in comparison to other materials.
- Foamular XPS 250 /50mm = R1.78.
- Expanded polystyrene 50mm, m grade = R1.20.
- Brickwork, 110mm = R0.18.
- Weather boards, 12 mm avg, pine = R0.08.
- Concrete slab, 2400kg/m3, 100mm = R0.069.
- Plaster board, 10mm = R0.059.
- Fibre cement sheet, 6mm = R0.019.
This high R-value means that over the life of Foamular, it gives better thermal protection,
reducing heating and cooling bills for its entire life. Foamular is guaranteed to maintain
at least 90% of its R-value for its useful life.
