Foamular Metric XPS energy efficient substrate
Foamular Metric XPS is an energy efficient substrate, especially suited for
new generation PM Render Finishes. Foamular is a truly green product. It is created using an
environmentally friendly HCFC Blowing Agent and its high insulation levels means it reduces
household heating bills. With over 90% of Australians electricity coming from burning coal,
Foamular has the potential to reduce Australia's carbon footprint.
Extruded Polystyrene Panels are lightweight and can be screw fixed directly onto studs or
masonry, and then finished with a Polymer Modified (PM) render system. The panel design
creates a seamless render that is impact resistant.
Foamular's thermal insulation properties are guaranteed to maintain at least 90% R-value for
20 years. Foamular's closed cell structure means it cannot absorb water, creating a waterproof
membrane. Insulation that absorbs water will often have dramatic losses in R-value once wet.
The R-Value of 50mm thick Foamular is R1.78, meaning it outperforms the insulation properties
of most substrates. 110mm of Brickwork has an R-value of only R0.18 and a Fiber Cement Sheet,
(6mm) has an R-value of only R0.019.
The versatility of Foamular means it can also be used in waterproofing, insulating floors and
roofs, and has applications for cold storage facilities.
