Expol Underfloor Insulation
Expol Underfloor Insulation by Foamex is easily fitted to new and existing homes, including pole houses with suspended floors. Expol will ensure your client’s home is protected year-round from extreme temperatures.
Manufactured using the highest quality, Australian made expanded polystyrene, Expol features flame retardant properties and contains no CFC’s. Designed to fit snugly between timber floor joists, with concertina cuts on both sides of the panel that allow for compression of up to 20mm.
StyroTherm
StyroTherm is a proven insulation product, ideal for slab edge and under slab insulation.
Manufactured in Australia from Styroboard XPS – the highest quality extruded polystyrene – StyroTherm is a highly compressive and durable product. Versatile and easy to install in any weather, StyroTherm extruded polystyrene sheets can be used to deliver a robust slab edge insulation system, helping prevent thermal bridging around the perimeter of a home, as well as under residential or commercial concrete slabs to provide additional insulation benefits. StyroTherm sheets are suitable for use in moist environments with no loss in thermal resistance, and they will retain their dimensional stability.
StyroSheet
Ideal for insulating walls, floors and garage doors, StyroSheet is manufactured in Australia from the industry leading Styroboard EPS expanded polystyrene.
As an insulation material, StyroSheet can be used for both external and internal insulation requirements across commercial and residential building applications. Suitable for use on steel stud, timber stud, concrete and masonry structures, StyroSheet provides an efficient and economical insulation solution.
StyroPod
StyroPod is an engineered waffle pod void former system for concrete slabs.
Designed specifically for use in residential building applications, StyroPod waffle pods provide under slab insulation and support, working in unison with natural soil movements, and lowering the amount of concrete required for a build. With the StyroPod system, construction is quicker and more cost effective compared to traditional concrete pours. A higher level of insulation is achieved through the natural air pockets in the expanded polystyrene and the moulded cells within the waffle pod design. StyroPod waffle pods can be used with any bracket and steel reinforcing mesh systems.
Insulation FAQs
How many different insulation types are there?
There are 2 main types of insulation products:
- bulk: which primarily affects conduction heat flow between objects that are touching
- reflective foil: which primarily affects radiation heat flow.
What is the best type of insulation?
The most effective type of insulation is bulk insulation. It works by capturing millions of tiny pockets of still air within its structure. These air pockets create resistance to heat flow, giving the material its insulating power. It’s essential not to compress bulk insulation, as this reduces the air pockets and diminishes its ability to insulate. Bulk insulation comes in forms such as batts, blankets, and boards, or as loose fill.
Insulation benefits
Insulation offers numerous benefits, enhancing comfort, energy efficiency, and sustainability in homes and buildings. Here are some key advantages:
- Improved Energy Efficiency
- Enhanced Comfort
- Noise ReductionEnvironmental Impact: Reduced energy usage lowers greenhouse gas emissions, making insulation a sustainable choice that contributes to environmental conservation.
- Condensation Control
- Increased Property Value
- Fire Protection
- Extended Lifespan of HVAC Systems
