A rigid extruded polystyrene (XPS) board resistant to compression and static loads.
Application
Suitable for almost any floor construction including:
- Below a screed;
- Below chipboard.
Application fields include:
- Ground floor – insulation below slab;
- Ground floor – insulation above slab (floating floor);
- External wall – below damp proof course (DPC);
- Underfloor heating systems;
- Basements.
Description
A rigid extruded polystyrene (XPS) board, highly resistant to compression and withstand both occasional and long term static loads.
Features and benefits:
- For residential floors.
- 25 to 75 mm square edged boards; 100 mm lap jointed board.
- Very high compressive strengh.
- Protects the damp proof membrane from damage.
- Highly resistant to water absorption.
- Robust and can tolerate traffic from following trades.
- Represents no known threat to the environment and has zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of less than five.
- 100% recyclable.
- BBA approved.
- BRE Environmental Product Declaration (EPD).
- BES 6001 Responsible Sourcing for Construction Products.
Technical characteristics:
- Vapour resistivity: The XPS content of Polyfoam Floorboard Standard has a water vapour resistivity of 625 MNs/g·m when tested in accordance with EN 12086.
- Moisture absorption: 0.7% by volume when tested in accordance with EN 12087.
- Moisture resistance: Resistant to moisture absorption and can be laid in standing water with negligible impact on the performance of the product as determined by testing to EN 12087.
- Durability: Continuous service temperature limits up to +70ºC.
