- We can cut from ¼" to 48" in thickness.
- Up to 48” width
- Up to 96” length
Blocks and sheets can be cut to a variety of sizes.
Foam Density
As a supplier of EPS packaging, we provide EPS packing foam in 1#, 1.5#, 2#, and 3# hardness and densities. We can assist you in selecting the best kind of expanded polystyrene foam to fulfill your needs while ensuring optimal performance.
EPS foam is white in color.
Benefits of EPS Foam for the Construction Industry
Durable EPS foam has moisture, thermal, chemical, and acoustic resistance and offers several key benefits that make it ideal for use in construction:
- Energy loss reduction in buildings due to highly rated insulation characteristics
- Cost-effective and helps contractors minimize material and labor costs
- Lightweight and easy to handle and install, streamlining construction processes
- Excellent compressive strength that can withstand significant loads without deforming or breaking
- Recyclable and reusable to help reduce emissions and global warming
Many of these benefits make EPS foam a great alternative to soil, aggregate, concrete, or structural fill for foundation construction and ground settlement.
Applications for EPS Foam
EPS insulation’s closed cell structure retains thermal resistance over time, making it a great choice to cushion walls, roofs, floors, and underground heating systems. Other common applications include:
- Foundations: Void-fill blocks, sub-structures
- Civil Engineering: Bridge, rail, road widening schemes
- Transportation Structures: Ramps and loading docks
- Ground Vibration Reduction: Railways, highways, industrial equipment
- Clay Heave Protection: Expansive soil replacement, foundation movement prevention
EPS foam’s lightweight properties make it ideal for some less frequent but still important uses, such as fill for green roofs and plaza decks and stable seating structures in stadiums and theaters.
EPS is the most frequently used foam material in construction.
