Expanded polystyrene (EPS) isn't just foam insulation, it's an innovative building material that lends to the design and structural integrity of many building projects. Since the 1950's, EPS has been recognized as a mainstream insulation material, but over the past decade, new applications using EPS have exploded, and EPS now serves as a powerful design element. Today the EPS industry uses highly sophisticated processes and technologies to manufacture cost-effective products.
EPS insulation products have been the subject of extensive research and evaluation over a 30-plus year lifespan. Encompassing a multitude of construction applications from roofing to below grade, the EPS industry stands behind its product with real-world test results. Research data from third party testing laboratories such as Oakridge National Laboratories, National Research Council of Canada, Florida Solar Energy Center and Structural Research, Inc. lend confidence to specifiers, architects and contractors alike.
