Insulated Wall Systems Victoria from Askin Performance Panels

POLYSHEET® manufactured by Askin Performance Panels is an expanded polystyrene foam (EPS), a rigid thermoplastic, with a cellular structure, comprising closed cell polystyrene beads fused together to form a block composed of approximately 98% by volume of air and 2% solid polystyrene. POLYSHEET® is ideally suited to meeting the performance requirements of the Building Code of Australia Acceptable Solutions H1/AS1: Energy Efficiency.

With characteristics compatible with virtually all building materials, POLYSHEET® provides the versatility, design and cost advantages that other materials cannot offer.

The excellent insulating properties of POLYSHEET® are due to still air in the closed cell structure being the ideal insulant, aided by the material's high resistance to the diffusion of water.

POLYSHEET® is easily cut by knife, saw or hot-wire, making accurate straight cuts and complicated profiles very easy to achieve. It is strong, lightweight and clean to handle.

These properties, coupled with moderate cost, make POLYSHEET® an ideal low temperature insulant, and many years of reliable service have established the material as a leader in this field. POLYSHEET® is chemically neutral and does not dissolve in water. EPS samples being tested since the mid-1950's display no evidence of decay or deterioration.
