One of my customers had a very unique application for EPS. They created a new form of watercraft.

The Hydroboard is a lightweight, inexpensive electric watercraft. The hull has a solid foam core made with 2lb Virgin EPS foam and covered in fiberglass or carbon fiber making it nearly unsinkable. The Hydroboard comes in an 8 foot single person watercraft and a 10 foot 2 person watercraft with many options. The Hydroboard is built right here in the United States by Eastern Expedition Equipment.

I sold a returning customer EPS for insulating huge garage doors this week.  One side has reflective poly film to reflect heat out in the summer.  The other side is covered with Haircell* to make it look nicer on the inside of the building.

Have you thought about insulating your garage or hanger doors?  Give us a call!

*Haircell is only available in certain parts of the country.

Adding insulation to your attic is easy with Styrofoam Brand Insulation or EPS rigid insulation. Universal Foam Products will deliver the insulation to your home precut to any thickness you like (the R-Value is between 4 and 5 per inch depending upon the material you choose) and 14-1/2” wide if your joists are 16” on center or 22-1/2” wide if your roof trusses are 24” on center. The material is easy to install (not messy like fiberglass insulation). It is very lightweight, economical and does not settle or lose its insulation value over time.  Call us for a custom quote for your home.

EPS can be used a mold for making various things including concrete tiles.  This drawing shows a tile mold with a bullnose edge.  This was quoted for a customer in the South who needed custom concrete tiles for residential use.

We are currently working with several customers who are insulating metal buildings at an economical cost. One customer in the south has an R-value between 35-40 on the roof due to the high temperature at his location. He is already seeing a return on his investment. The EPS Sheets are light weight and easy to install on the ceilings and walls. Call us to see how we can help you save money.

We just got a nice project for letters that are 7-foot tall, 9 1/4″ deep that are being used for a concrete block outs. EPS was chosen for the project because of it’s cost savings and lighweight properties. Once the concrete is set the contractor will remove the EPS and fill it in with pavers.
