Insulation is a practical and cost effective way to improve a building’s energy efficiency resulting in significant lifetime cost savings and reduced energy use. For over 70 years, expanded polystyrene (EPS) has been considered an outstanding thermal insulation choice for walls, roofs, floors and pipes. Architects have complete freedom of choice for the inner leaf, including brick, dense concrete and hallow blocks.
