Maximum Roof to Underfloor Insulation with Foamex Polystyrene Foams

Maximum insulation from roof to underfloor is possible through polystyrene foams from Foamex. For more than three decades, the Victorian-based company has established a reputable name in the construction industry, following their unparalleled catalogue of polystyrene products, manufactured and delivered with the highest standard of service.

In weather extremes, heating and cooling systems are used in full force, consuming an approximate 44% of all energy used at home. To reduce energy consumption, builders and specifiers are highly recommending the use of polystyrene foam. It's rigid and closed cellular composition accounts for its excellent thermal insulation; it keeps the heat inside the room during winter and blocks hot air from entering during summer.

Polystyrene foam is regarded as the most cost-effective and flexible building material because of its sustainable components, functions, and benefits. It is typically installed in roofs, walls and ceilings, underfloors, or any section that stands between warm and cold air. For maximum insulation, they are also installed in basements, crawl spaces, and garages.
