Polystyrene Cladding: Advantages from JPS Coatings

Polystyrene cladding has become a popular trend in today's building industry - it offers a smart choice
amongst the traditional wall cladding materials such as masonry, timber, concrete and steel surfaces.
Polystyrene wall cladding from JPS offers an insulating, decorative and protective exterior finish
system that can be used for just about any type of construction project.
Here are the detailed advantages of expanded polystyrene wall cladding:
1. Polystyrene cladding sheets are made up of lightweight materials, which makes it easy to handle,
install and clean. Although it's lightweight, it offers durability when rendered.
2. Expanded polystyrene wall cladding has inherent thermal properties and offers high insulation
values. It's an energy saving method when applied as an exterior cladding as it keeps the inside
warm during winter and cool throughout summer.
3. Polystyrene cladding is resistant to white ants, termites and rodents.
4. Polystyrene wall cladding has fire retardant properties - reducing flammability and delays
combustion.
5. Expanded polystyrene sheeting is flexible, it can be attached to any surface material. It's
adaptable to any size, shape and application, therefore giving innumerable design possibilities.
6. Polystyrene cladding has a water and vapour barrier. It maintains its features - shape, size,
consistency even when put under prolonged saturation.

7. Polystyrene wall cladding offers narrow but sturdy walls which allow for additional internal space.
8. Homeowners, design teams, tradesmen, architects and engineers can be assured that they are
making the right long term choice. A polystyrene cladding system provides product longevity with
low maintenance.
With its advantages, it's no wonder why polystyrene wall cladding is a smart choice for builders and
homeowners.
