Polystyrene Concrete Wall Panels

Insulated concrete form walls are constructed by pouring concrete into hollow pre formed panels which are most commonly made of expanded polystyrene or extruded polystyrene foam.

Polystyrene concrete wall panels.

Eps insulation blocks that are 5 thick have an r value of r 20 5 or greater. This combination is also completely fire resistant and sound transmission is reduced allowing intrusive noise to be kept at a minimum. Every precast wall panel has a thick layer of energy efficient thermal insulation integrally sandwiched between a very durable concrete interior and a unique beautiful exterior finish. Simply by placing the eps blocks inside the concrete block voids while the foundation wall is being built that r 1 11 insulation value for the block wall is turned.

Polystyrene wall cladding installation. The concrete sandwich eps wall panel is one of the lightweight cement easy wall panel material. If polystyrene is going to be applied to cement or block walls in a basement it s imperative that any moisture or water penetration issues are fixed first. An 8 hollow concrete block the type used for most concrete block walls only has an r value of 1 11.

Lightweight concrete also known as epscrete expanded polystyrene concrete is a material widely used in the building of environmentally green homes. Foamular xps resists moisture and retains r value even after exposure to standing water and wet soil. Since the wall panel has a size of 2 4 m 0 6 m the ability to lift and handle the panels during construction is a major criterion. Lightweight cement wall panels also known as concrete eps expanded polystyrene styrofoam wall panel is a green building material used for environmentally friendly homes this concrete lightweight wall panel is produced by mixing cement and small styrofoam balls as a lightweight aggregated instead of the crushed stone used in regular concrete.

Only xps foam to be greenguard gold certified and the first xps foam certified by scientific certification systems scs to contain a minimum of 20 recycled content. We have a track record in supplying our insulated block to developments through the uk ireland and europe over the past 15 years. Products can be used on wood steel framing or concrete walls. The substance is often made using small styrofoam balls as a lightweight aggregate instead of the crushed stone that is used in regular concrete.

Polystyrene panels can be applied to basement walls roof trusses roof panels floor trusses and also used as thoroughly engineered building shells. These boards can be used to produce wall panels of 100 mm thickness by using eps based foam concrete as an infill material.
