EPS Insulation

Dyplast Products produces EPS insulation in various configurations and densities, including unfaced flat panel, tapered panel, loose fill, and Holey-Board. Durable wood, metal, and/or FRP skins can be applied by the customer or one of our affiliates, leading to ease of maintenance and added strength and integrity. EPS insulation is easily fabricated to meet specific design and dimensional requirements. Further, because of its light weight and durability it is easily stored, handled, and installed on the job site. It can also be readily cut to shape in the field to ensure tight joints, thus eliminating heat loss.

EPS insulation is suitable for a host of residential and commercial applications including:

Cold storage applications

  • Refrigeration/freezers
  • Rail and truck transport

Building construction

  • Cavity wall and drywall base insulation
  • Exterior and interior foundation wall insulation
  • Roofing
  • Sub slab and perimeter insulation

EPS insulation typically costs less than other rigid board insulations when compared on the basis of R-value. When evaluating the cost efficiency of rigid insulations, compare the price of equal lengths and widths for the cost of the R-value per inch of thickness.


What Is EPS?

EPS (expanded polystyrene) is a closed cell, lightweight, resilient, foamed plastic providing a host of unique properties.

With a compressive strength between 10 and 35 psi for most construction applications, EPS can be molded to meet specific application requirements.

Where energy efficiency and cost effectiveness have long been primary design considerations, architects have made EPS the dominant thermal insulation.

When applied to foundations, walls and roofs, it has a successful history of efficient use in industrial, commercial, cold storage and residential buildings.

Additionally, EPS is often used for low-cost creative solutions in architectural, packaging and flotation applications.
