EXPOL BLACK R1.8

EXPOL BLACK Insulation is made from a fire retardant Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) with the addition of Graphite for enhanced insulation properties. EXPOL BLACK achieves a premium insulation value of R1.8.

In most homes, floor insulation is exposed to the elements (as opposed to wall and ceiling insulation in a cavity) therefore, it is vital that the materials used will stand the test of time. EXPOL solid insulation is not affected by moisture and will not degrade over time.

EXPOL BLACK panels are supplied in four standard sizes, and have concertina cuts either side for easy installation.

All fixing components are supplied by EXPOL and when used according to EXPOL's installation instructions will ensure the system lasts the life time of the construction.

EXPOL BLACK Insulation is appraised by BRANZ and has a 50 year limited product warranty.

System components

WIRE GUARD
EXPOL Wireguard is a waxed paper strip used to separate exposed electrical cables from EXPOL insulation. EPS in some cases reacts with the plasticiser and degrades the elastic properties of some electrical cables over a prolonged period.

FIXINGS
Non corrosive nylon fixings with a stainless steel nail are used to fix EXPOL panels in place, designed to suit both new and existing floor installations.

CONSTRUCTION ADHESHIVE
EXPOL supplies a low solvent glue designed to adhere polystyrene to most surfaces. UnderFloor panels can be glued in place using this adhesive as an alternative or in combination with the nylon fixings.
