FOAMEX, an Australian-owned company that manufactures expanded polystyrene foam (EPS) products and extruded polystyrene foam (XPS), makes use of a revolutionary manufacturing technique allowing them produce eco-friendly polystyrene sheets that are HCFC-free.

FOAMEX Styroboard™ extruded polystyrene foam is a sturdy and resilient material with excellent thermal performance. Because of the polystyrene sheets' strength, the insulation material is ideal for areas where heavy loads or constant pedestrian traffic is present. FOAMEX Styroboard™ extruded polystyrene foam comes in a 2400mm L x 600mm W size and is available in 25mm, 30mm, 40mm, 50mm, 70mm and 100mm thickness.

The use of Styroboard™ extruded polystyrene foam insulation in building construction provides exceptional flexibility, compatibility, and thermal efficiency. Extruded polystyrene foam are suitably used for the following applications:

Flat, inverted roofs
Floor and ceiling insulation with maximum load bearing capacity
Plinth area or floor area, the total covered area of a residential or commercial property
Perimeter insulation for basements and cellars
Rooftop gardens
