Q1 : What is EPS foam?
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam is a lightweight, rigid, closed cell insulation. EPS is available in several compressive strengths to withstand load and back-fill forces.
The word Styrofoamâ„¢ is actually a trademarked term for closed-cell extruded polystyrene foam made for thermal insulation and craft applications. EPS foam is the correct term for any form of expanded polystyrene.
EPS has been a material of choice for more than 50 years because of its versatility, lightweight, reliable insulation characteristics, and cost effectiveness.
