Because EPS (expanded polystyrene) is mostly air, it makes an excellent insulator. The thousands of air pockets create an effective and economical thermal barrier. EPS is very stable and maintains almost 100% of its original R-Value over time.

STYROFOAM™ Brand Insulation and EPS make excellent roofing insulation. EPS is routinely used for commercial roof insulation on flat roofs where pieces can be tapered to any shape and size required to provide proper drainage. EPS is also used in large industrial buildings, sized to fit between trusses.

STYROFOAM Brand Insulation and EPS are the best under slab insulation materials. With compression strengths ranging from 10 psi to 60 psi for EPS and from 25 psi to 100 psi for STYROFOAM Brand Insulation, any floor load requirements can be accommodated.

When converting a movie theater to retail space, the fastest and most economical method to level the floor is to use pre-cut and tapered blocks of EPS to fill in the space. The concrete slab is then poured directly over the level EPS finishing the floor.

EPS is used in a variety of sound deadening application such as machine shops, kennels and recording studios. The panels can be coated with a fire retardant material or covered with a class “A” finish to meet building code requirements.

When a multi-tiered floor is required and weight reduction is a consideration, EPS is used to build the layers. The floor is then formed up along the front edge and concrete is poured to cover the EPS.

EPS columns can be straight or tapered, smooth or fluted. Bases and capitals are available in an unlimited variety of sizes and configurations. The columns can be for aesthetics only can be delivered inhalves to be installed around a structural column.

Large blocks of EPS are commonly used in geo-technical applications. EPS is lightweight, stable, distributes load evenly and is an excellent insulator. It installs more rapidly than other materials, providing a lower in-ground cost than other materials that were commonly used in the past.

When lateral loads need to be reduced; EPS is the logical material for the job. Available in blocks up to 24’ long in some parts of the country, EPS blocks act as a buffer between the earth and the wall or abutment. Through the use of EPS, the lateral loads are greatly reduced, allowing for vertical wall construction with reduced tiebacks.

EPS panels can be delivered in any required sizes for the construction of residential and commercial garage doors. The panels are lightweight and provide excellent insulation properties.

Most steel doors are constructed of an EPS inner core wrapped with a steel outer skin. Other popular materials are fiberglass and wood veneer.

EPS is used as an insulating core in the construction of walk-in boxes. Besides providing the required R-Value the material also increases the impact resistance of the aluminum finish.

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is one of the most versatile materials available. Easily shaped, durable and strong, it’s also lightweight and bonds instantly with paint. Whether you need a complete set for your next theatre production or a complex stage prop, EPS should be your material of choice

If you want to keep your pitchers practicing indoors during the winter, build them an indoor pitcher’s mound using 2# density EPS contoured to regulation dimensions and cover it with Astroturf or carpet.

If you need to make a mock up wedding cake for display purposes, use EPS blocks to create the layers. Material will be delivered, cut to size and ready to cover. They can be washed and reused at a later date. STYROFOAM Brand Foam is also available in stock sizes for cake blanks.

EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) is the preferred sculpting medium for many types of artists. It is lightweight, versatile, easy to work with and is available in very large blocks.
