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.
