Yes - we offer custom cutting including CNC hot-wire cutting for profiles, shapes, packaging inserts and bespoke items.
Polystyrene is a type of insulating material made from polystyrene foam, commonly used to reduce heat transfer in buildings and various applications.
EPS insulation is made by expanding small polystyrene beads using steam and then molding them into large blocks.
Polystyrene is used for ceilings, walls, roofs, floors, and pipes in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.
Benefits include effective thermal insulation, lightweight construction, moisture resistance, ease of installation, and cost-effectiveness.
Yes, by minimizing heat transfer, polystyrene can help reduce heating and cooling energy consumption in buildings.
Polystyrene can help reduce sound transmission to some extent, especially when used as part of a multi-layered insulation system.
With proper installation and maintenance, polystyrene insulation can last for many years, providing consistent thermal performance.
