Energy Efficient Subfloor Insulation Boards from Foamex

Developed by Foamex, EXPOL™ is the number-one choice for energy efficient subfloor insulation boards in Australia. Foamex has been a recognised industry leader in the insulation sector for more than 35 years and counting. With a strict commitment to international standards of quality, the Australian-owned and operated company, remains at the forefront of developing new and innovative uses for polystyrene for the built sector.

What are EXPOL™ Energy Efficient Subfloor Insulation Boards?
The warmth emanated from winter heating rises to the ceiling, causing cold air to sink to the floor. Since the floor is in contact with the coldest air from both inside and outside the property, the building structure can lose up to 15% of heating. Timber floors especially tend to have large masses of cold air between the ground and the underside of the floor, resulting in possible leakage via a heat sink due to the material's low insulation properties. To combat such dilemmas, building industry trends continue to recommend high-performance underfloor insulation.

The product development team at Foamex designed EXPOL™ to be the ideal solution to underfloor insulation in both domestic and commercial applications. The foam board is manufactured from top-quality polystyrene, widely used for its low thermal conductivity. The tight closed cellular matrix of the polystyrene composition effectively inhibits the passage of heat, as well as sound, thereby helping maintain a pleasant indoor ambience all year long. While light in weight, EXPOL™ provides high dimensional stability to guarantee homeowners and industry experts the longevity of its service.
