    Expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam board insulation offers excellent insulation at low cost for a variety of uses, such as foundations and roofs. It has good durability and compatibility. Mineral wool insulation is made from basalt rock and steel slag, making it non-combustible with excellent fire resistance. It is vapor permeable. Both EPS and mineral wool provide effective thermal insulation and have benefits like breathability, moisture resistance, and ease of installation. Their U-values are calculated based on the layers of a wall system.

    Mineral wool board insulation

    Expanded Polystyrene foam board insulation is a versatile plastic foam insulant offering
    excellent insulation properties at a low cost with a wide range of available thicknesses and
    densities EPS can be used in a variety of residential, commercial and industrial applications
    such as foundation walls, roofs, pipes or cold storage.

    Mineral wool board insulants are made from basalt rock and steel slag. This combination results
    in a non-combustible product which gives it excellent fire resistance properties. Mineral wool
    is a water repellent yet vapor permeable material.

    Features and benefits of EPS

    The thermal conductivity of mineral wool faade insulation boards is = 0,034 W/mK (0,0196
    BTU/fthF) at 10 C (50 F) mean temperature.

    Can be used in new built and renovation

    Nr. Layer

    Mineral wool is the ideal fire protection material since it is both non-combustible (meeting
    the ISO 1182 standard), and does not conduct heat. In other words it does not burn nor does
    it propagate fire. It can resist temperatures above even 1000C
