POLYSTYRISOL
USE
Polystyrisol is an ideal insulation for cavity walls, floors, flat roofs, inverted roofs, attics, walls, refrigerating rooms and cold stores.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The solid Polystyrisol boards, which are made from extruded polystyrene, are moisture-resistant, non-perishable and resistant to rot and vermin. They are also made in a self extinguishing version and are recyclable.
PART 1 - INTRODUCTION
1.1 Surface finishings
- Skin on (smooth)
- Skin off (rough)
- Waffle board
- Skin on with thick grooves
- Skin off with fine grooves
1.2 Advantages
- Excellent thermal insulation thanks to its low coefficient of heat conduction
- Minimal water absorption
- High resistance to compression
- Non-perishable and non-ageing
- Resistant to rot and vermin
- Monolithic board; no risk of delamination
- Easy to install
- Made in a self-extinguishing version
- Recyclable

PART 4 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
- Polystyrisol boards must not be exposed for a long time to direct solar radiation, as UV rays may cause surface deterioration.
- They must not be installed nor exposed under a PVC foil or on places with temperatures above 70°C.
- When installing during cold weather provide the necessary expansion joints; e.g. at 0°C: 4 or 8 mm, depending on the length of the board.
