Polystyrene foam: features and application in sandwich panels

10Apr

In modern construction, new technologies and innovative materials are actively used, created to ensure effective insulation and the construction of energy-efficient buildings. One of these materials is expanded polystyrene. In this article, we will look at its characteristics and application. In particular, we will talk about sandwich panels, for the manufacture of which this material is used.

Expanded polystyrene: key characteristics

Expanded polystyrene, also known as polystyrene, is a lightweight plastic material that is obtained as a result of the polymerization of styrene. The manufacturing technology allows you to ensure the following important features of the material:

Low thermal conductivity. Styrofoam has excellent thermal insulation properties, which makes it an excellent choice for construction applications.
Light weight. The material is quite light compared to analogues, which greatly simplifies its transportation and installation.
Chemical resistance. Styrofoam is resistant to moisture and chemicals, which extends the life of structures.
Strength and durability. Styrofoam sandwich panels are highly durable and can withstand significant loads.
Environmental safety. Expanded polystyrene is environmentally friendly and absolutely safe for human health.
Easy to process. It is easy to cut and shape, which provides flexibility in the construction process.

Sandwich panels, consisting of two metal sheets and a layer of polystyrene foam insulation, provide unique opportunities for creating energy-efficient and durable buildings.

Application of expanded polystyrene in sandwich panels

Sandwich panels using expanded polystyrene are widely used in the construction of buildings in order to provide effective thermal insulation and improve energy efficiency. In addition, they provide an accelerated pace of construction. Such properties contribute to wide application. Styrofoam sandwich panels, also known as EPS panels, are used for the construction of:

Wall systems. Styrofoam sandwich panels are often used to create exterior walls, providing excellent thermal insulation and the appearance of the building.
Roofing systems. Expanded polystyrene sandwich panels are perfect for creating a roof, providing reliable protection from external atmospheric influences.
Facade systems. They are used for cladding the facades of buildings, creating an aesthetic and thermally insulated appearance, giving the building an attractive appearance.

Our assortment includes all types of such products. Detailed information on each of them can be found on the corresponding pages.

How to choose corrugated roofing: thickness, profile, and coating

Corrugated sheet metal is suitable for roofs with different structural and operational requirements. However, you shouldn’t rely solely on the appearance or price of the sheet: the rigidity, load‑bearing capacity, and service life of the roof depend on the thickness of the steel, the height of the profile, and the protective coating. The right choice […]

Sandwich panels or concrete walls for an industrial building

When constructing an industrial building, the walls must provide strength, thermal insulation, protection from the external environment, and ease of use. In practice, the choice often comes down to two solutions: concrete walls and sandwich panels. They should be compared based on construction time, load on the foundation, and operating conditions. h2 Concrete walls: advantages […]
