EPS250
EPS 250 polystyrene boards carry more weight than standard EPS without losing shape. Despite the strength, they are still light and easy to handle, which makes them ideal for floors and industrial and commercial slabs that receive constant compressive loads.
What is Polystyrene 250 kPa?
EPS 250 is tested to handle 250 kPa at 10% compression. That means it stays firm even under heavy loads. Its closed-cell structure keeps it stable over time, and with a declared thermal conductivity (λ-value) between 0.032 and 0.034 W/m·K, it keeps floors insulated without adding bulk.
What Is Polystyrene 250 Used For?
As a floor product, polystyrene 250 kPa is fitted under screeds, concrete toppings, and paved terraces, where it helps prevent sagging, reduces deflection, and protects floor finishes.
It is mainly used under:
- Warehouse floors
- Commercial slabs
- Mezzanine floors
- Cold stores
It can also be used to provide moisture resistance within appropriate roofing and wall build-ups.

How to cut EPS 250
- Mark the cut line with a pencil and a straightedge.
- Support the board fully on trestles or a flat surface.
- Use a handsaw for small cuts, a circular saw for thicker boards, or a hot-wire cutter for super-clean edges.
- Keep the blade straight as you cut. Thicker boards may require slower passes and steadier control.
- Remove loose beads.
Always wear PPE and manage dust and debris while cutting.
How much weight can EPS 250 hold?
EPS250 kPa can resist 250 kN/m² at 10% compression. That is roughly 25 tonnes per square metre under test conditions. Actual usable load depends on the screed, topping, and build-up above the EPS.
EPS 250 is not a load-bearing structural slab and must be installed within an appropriate floor build-up. So, ensure the floor build-up matches project load requirements.
