EXPOL Installation Components

Fixings

There are two types of fixings specific to existing floors and new floors. They are made from non-corrosive nylon and are used to fix the EXPOL panels in place.

Existing Floors: EXPOL Z Clips are designed as a push fit between the panel and the joist.

New Floors: EXPOL Joist Saddles for R2.5 & R3.1 (extended length) are designed to slip over the joist to support and secure the 100mm panel.

EXPOL WireGuard

EXPOL WireGuard a waxed paper strip to separate exposed electrical cables from the EXPOL insulation. Expanded Polystyrene in some cases reacts with the plasticiser and degrades the elastic properties of some electrical cables over a prolonged period.

Styro-FIX Construction Adhesive
