What is extruded polystyrene insulation?
Extruded polystyrene (XPS) insulation is a rigid foam material favoured for its strong thermal insulation and moisture resistance.
Available in sheets, panels or boards, it features a closed-cell structure with unrivalled strength and durability. This makes XPS a lasting solution for a variety of demanding applications, like wall, floor and roof insulation.

Explore the benefits of XPS insulation
Thermal performance
XPS insulation boasts exceptional thermal resistance. By effectively reducing heat transfer, it keeps your building warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Ultimately, that means significant energy savings and enhanced comfort.
Moisture resistance
One of the standout features of XPS is its excellent moisture resistance. Being waterproof, it’s perfect for areas prone to dampness or direct water exposure. This helps prevent mould and mildew growth for a healthier indoor environment.
Strength & durability
XPS insulation is incredibly durable, with the ability to withstand heavy loads without compressing. This strength makes it suitable for high-traffic areas and structural applications, where it delivers long-lasting performance.
Versatility
This insulation can be used in various applications, including walls, underfloors, roofs, and more. Available in various thicknesses and sizes, it can be tailored to your project’s unique requirements.
Extruded polystyrene for all sorts of insulation
Walls
XPS wall insulation enhances thermal performance by providing a continuous insulation layer that minimises thermal bridging. Suitable for exterior and interior applications, it’s an excellent choice for creating an energy-efficient living space.
Underfloors
XPS underfloor insulation improves the thermal efficiency of floors by reducing heat loss, making indoor spaces more comfortable. It’s particularly effective in basements and ground floors where heat retention is critical.
Roofing
Suitable for both flat and pitched roofs, XPS roof insulation offers outstanding thermal resistance and moisture protection. Extend the lifespan of roofing systems and improve overall building performance.
Floors
XPS floor insulation is ideal for residential and commercial buildings. It provides high compressive strength for use under concrete slabs and other heavy-duty flooring applications. All with excellent thermal performance and durability.

Extruded polystyrene FAQs
What is the difference between XPS vs EPS insulation?
While extruded polystyrene (EXP) and expanded polystyrene (EPS) are both types of polystyrene insulation, they differ in their manufacturing processes and properties. XPS has a more closed-cell structure, making it denser and more moisture-resistant than EPS.
What is the R-value of XPS insulation?
Generally speaking, XPS insulation has a high R-value of approximately 5 per 2.5cm of thickness. However, the exact rating varies according to the specific product.
Is XPS insulation waterproof?
Yes. XPS insulation is waterproof. Its closed-cell structure prevents water absorption, making it an excellent choice for areas exposed to moisture, like basements, roofs, and exterior walls.
Is XPS insulation flammable?
XPS sheet insulation has a high resistance to ignition and can be treated with flame retardants to enhance safety. That said, it should never be exposed to open flames.
Can you paint XPS insulation?
Yes. XPS insulation can be painted with water-based paints. We recommend using a primer designed for foam surfaces to ensure proper adhesion.
What is the right thickness of XPS for my project?
The right thickness of this insulation depends on several factors, including the goal R-value, local climate, and application.
At Insulation Industries, our team has the expertise to help you choose the best solution for your specific needs. Call us today for tailored advice.
How do you install XPS insulation?
Installing XPS insulation panels is a straightforward process. First, measure and cut the insulation to fit the desired area. Secure the insulation in place using appropriate adhesives or mechanical fasteners. Ensure all gaps are sealed to provide continuous insulation coverage.
For optimal results, follow safety guidelines and consider consulting professional xps insulation installation.
