EPS Insulation Projects


Expanded Polystyrene Foam can be a great insulator for inside and outside of foundations, roof insulation, and under slab insulation and floors. 

Expanded Polystyrene does not absorb moisture and keeps the heat in. Check out the projects that have been completed using EPS Insulation boards

   
                                                                                                                     



Insulated ceilings using EPS insulation

Ceilings can be insulated using EPS foam. A customer ordered 1lb EPS recycled and precut foam panels that were  4” x 48” x 60” providing an 15.4 R-Value. They are great for homes in every environment including the city, the country, and suburbs.






                                                                                                                             



The Trump International Hotel in New York City used EPS insulation in their new restaurant. They ordered 3 lb density, full 60 psi EPS foam. The results were great.










                                                                                                                          


Using EPS insulation boards in a house

In Florida a family contacted us for foam to insulate their ceiling. They ordered .9lb Virgin EPS foam sheets. These sheets have an R-Value of 3.85 per inch. 

Because their roof trusses were 24" O.C. the foam sheets were precut to 5"x22- 1/2"x96" making them easily installable for each bay of the ceiling.

Installing EPS insulation boards



Precut insulation boards make installation a quicker process and eliminates frustration throughout the process. 








                                                                                                                                       


EPS and Styrofoam Brand sheets
Sizing and Cutting the Foam Insulation Sheets 
Prefabricated Dome Roof



EPS is waterproof, making it a great insulator. Titan Environmental uses EPS foam sheets to insulate roof systems. Many of the roofs they do are prefabricated liquid storage tank roof systems that require insulation that will have a high R-value and the ability to be waterproof. They cut and shaped their foam with a how wire bow cutter and a hot knife. They coated the foam after it was secured to the dome roof to ensure that it would be waterproof.

Insulation before concrete was poured


A project in Montana called for .9lb Virgin EPS Insulation sheets that were 2"x48"x96". The company, Integrity Window & Door, contacted us for the insulation to put them under basement and garage slabs.

1 lb Density EPS Panels
1 lb Density EPS Panels 


One of our customers in Pennsylvania ordered 1lb density EPS panels, cut to size, that were to insulate special use electrical panels that were located in water treatment facilities.  The insulation panels will extend that life of the operating equipment due to its high R-Value.

Equipment with insulation around it













                                                                                                                                            

Roof Insulation between raftersThe company, Dixie Pole Buildings, reached out to us for 4" thick pieces of EPS Foam Insulation. They use this insulation in the roofs of garages, barns, and similar buildings. They needed insulation that had a high R-Value which is why they went with EPS. The pieces were precut to fit in-between the rafters of the roof. They saved time upon installation due to the pieces being precut upon delivery.

                                                                                                                                              

Ice Rink that has EPS Insulation Underneath

In California, the City of Temecula needed to insulate the bottom of their ice rink for their Holiday celebration- "Winter Fest". They needed 125 pieces of  1.80lb Virgin EPS Foam that was 1"x48"x96". It was a success!
