Foamex is a national industry leader in the manufacture and distribution of durable extruded polystyrene foam solutions. Since 1982, the Australian-owned and operated company has been at the forefront of polystyrene innovation for versatile building applications in both residential and commercial projects.
Styroboard extruded polystyrene sheets (XPS) are among the flagship products in the Foamex catalogue. With high compressive strength and excellent thermal performance, Styroboard XPS has become the number one choice for durable extruded polystyrene foam in the construction sector. Foamex has elicited positive reviews from builders, specifiers, architects, and engineers all over the country for Styroboard XPS, thus, further establishing stronger and more fruitful connections in the industry.
Styroboard XPS undergoes a revolutionary and eco-friendly manufacturing process to meet a gold standard of quality. The end-product is durable extruded polystyrene foam that exhibits a tight, closed cellular matrix. Its high density allows Styroboard XPS to effectively prevent the migration of water - notorious for diminishing the thermal abilities of insulation in contact - even under extreme weather conditions. Styroboard XPS can be relied on to provide safeguarded insulation for long lasting service.
Styroboard XPS if fully compliant to key requirements in structural and civil engineering. The durable extruded polystyrene foam is equipped with dimensional stability, and resistance to moisture and most ground contaminants. Styroboard XPS does not rot or decompose, with zero attraction to vermin. Compared to traditional expanded polystyrene, Styroboard XPS boasts superior compressive strength and higher long-term R-values.
Where to Use Styroboard XPS
With premium features and a lightweight build, Styroboard XPS allows easy handling and installation for a myriad of building applications.
Floor Insulation

Styroboard XPS delivers outstanding performance for floor insulation. Its high compressive strength adapts to a broad range of floor constructions, especially heavy load bearing floors in warehousing, car parks, production areas, and even aircraft maintenance hangars. Styroboard XPS provides facility to local peak loads, adjusting to uneven surfaces under pressure.
Perimeter Insulation

Perimeter insulation is another suitable application for Styroboard XPS. The durable extruded polystyrene foam surrounds the shell of a building without internal or external structural fragmentation that leads to thermal bridges. With Styroboard XPS, building slabs can better retain warmth to reduce the amount of heat escaping the building foundation.
Inverted Roofs and Roof Spacers

As accounted for its adequate weatherproof characteristics, Styroboard XPS is ideal for use across various roofing applications, such as inverted roofs, duo or plus roofs, promenade roofs, roof gardens, and parking decks. Styroboard XPS also conforms to the building regulations for roof spaces.
