EPS Insulation EPS250
EPS (Expanded PolyStyrene) is a white foam plastic substance made from solid polystyrene beads. EPS is a lightweight material with good thermal conductivity, low moisture absorption, and excellent cushioning.
Applications of expanded polystyrene insulation
Expanded polystyrene has many uses in the building sector. In construction, it’s primarily used for:
- Floor insulation. It helps prevent heat loss through the ground in solid and suspended floors.
- It provides thermal protection for flat and pitched roofs.
- Below-ground applications. It’s suitable for foundations and under concrete slabs due to its compressive strength.
- External wall insulation (EWI) systems. When coated and sealed, EPS foam serves as a reliable base layer for render systems.
All exposed edges of the Jablite should be wrapped in an insulation strip and tightly butted against the perimeter walls. In screed or particleboard overlay, an expansion gap may be required around the perimeter of the floor finish. The most popular uses are beneath a concrete slab with con–
crete poured on top, or as a walkway board with chipboard laminated to the EPS 70. The EPS insulation are incredibly simple to install and come in a variety of grades and sizes such as EPS70, EPS100 and EPS150 to meet your specific needs. Jablite EPS is extremely adaptable and may be used in a variety of applications, including roofs, walls, and floors.
Types of EPS insulation
EPS insulation comes in several densities. Each grade and density is suited to different uses. The most common EPS markings you may come across include:
- EPS 70. A lightweight insulation panel designed for walls, floors, and roof decks.
- EPS 100. Commonly designed for medium-load areas, such as ground floors.
- EPS 150. The Insulation is engineered for higher compressive strength needs, such as under heavy flooring.
- EPS 200. A high-strength product with superior load-bearing capacity. It’s ideal for industrial flooring and fitting in car park decks.
- EPS 250. Perfect for heavy-duty installations because of its high compressive strength.
- External wall EPS. These panels are specifically designed for external wall insulation systems.
Many people use the term Jablite to refer to EPS insulation in general. But Jablite is actually a leading brand rather than a synonym for EPS. This widespread use of the brand name reflects Jablite’s success.
The company is among the top EPS brands in the UK; its products are renowned for their lightweight structure, durability, and reliable thermal insulation.
Benefits of expanded polystyrene
Insulating with expanded polystyrene offers numerous benefits, including:
- Reduced heat loss and improved thermal performance.
- Insulation that’s easy to carry and install.
- A cost-effective, long-lasting insulation solution.
- Durability and sustained performance.
- A versatile product that you can apply in various spaces.
- EPS is recyclable; therefore, it is a more sustainable insulation option.
The expanded polystyrene material is adaptable, light in weight, easy to handle, and it offers a cost-effective way to include permanent insulation in floors, walls, and roofs to meet and surpass Building
Regulations standards. The EPS have little nutritional value, which means they won’t attract insects or vermin and won’t support mould growth. Depending on the use, the material is relatively durable and flexible, offering excellent thermal insulation in compliance with the values set by applicable regulations.

FAQ
What is EPS insulation?
EPS insulation are a thermal insulation solution commonly used to reduce heat loss in buildings. The panels have a rigid form, which gives them superior insulation.
What is EPS insulation used for?
EPS foam is often used to insulate roofing systems, walls, flooring, and external wall systems in residential and commercial properties.
What does EPS insulation stand for?
EPS is short for Expanded Polystyrene. It refers to a type of rigid foam insulation material with closed cells.
What is EPS insulation made of?
EPS insulation is made using polystyrene, a thermoplastic polymer. To make the EPS insulation, polystyrene sphere-like beads are heated with steam. This causes them to expand, after which they are moulded into EPS panels.
Can Jablite be used under concrete?
Yes, you can fit Jablite under a concrete slab. Just make sure you select the EPS grade that matches your floor system’s load requirements.
