Is EPS subject to Australian Standards?
Yes. Manufacturers when stating the class of EPS and therefore its physical characteristics are required to manufacture to AS 1366 Part 3 – 1992. As such, the properties of EPS required for a particular application are guaranteed. Is EPS cost effective compared to alternative insulation? Because of the high level of versatility of EPS and the wide range of applications for which it is suitable, its cost effectiveness compared to alternative materials can generally be accurately assessed only on a case by case basis. In many applications however, particularly where an element of structural strength is required, EPS is the most cost effective insulation material available. EPS is the only insulation material that in practical, economic and efficiency terms can be applied to all areas of building constructions – ceilings, roofs, walls, floors and under slab – to provide superior standards of thermal insulation. That’s why EPS is the ultimate insulation.
