Expanded polystyrene (EPS) also called styrofoam is a revolution in the building and construction sector.
The use of polystyrene in Building and Construction is vast. This technology has been used with outstanding results since the 1950s around the world.
New applications for this product are emerging every day as industry players around the world seek better and cheaper methods of building and construction.
EPS is now a major design material found in edifices in many countries of the world. This is because it is very effective when it comes to cutting and shaping curves
The world is seeking ways to combat environmental degradation. The construction industry is equally contributing its part in this quest through green buildings. Polystyrene has been found to be an important fabric in providing responsible and sustainable buildings and at the same time maximize limited energy thus leading to a better indoor experience and providing durable structures.
HOW STRONG IS THIS THING?
This is a major concern of almost everyone hearing for the first time about styrofoam being used in construction.
When you think of polystyrene, you imagine this fragile white material you find encasing new electronics you buy. It’s unimaginable that it could be used for something as strength demanding as construction.
However, this technology has been proven to be effective in many countries for many years.
Polystyrene is indeed a lightweight material but extremely strong once installed in a structure. First timers may be full of doubts but always impressed with the end results.
Polystyrene is a better alternative to traditional sandcrete blocks/concrete.
Application.
Ceiling insulation of public gathering buildings like halls using EPS provides superior cover against echo and noise. This gives much better sound quality thus helping organizations to acquire less P.A systems.
EPS offer homes with extra ordinary feel because of the insulation against noise and external weather conditions. You will have to experience the wonderful feel inside a home built with polystyrene to believe it.
The design possibilities of this product is endless, limited only by the imaginations of the engineer. it is very flexible in fitting together with other construction materials like wood, timber, steel and other construction inputs.
You can use polystyrene for the construction of your entire building from foundation to roof. However, if you choose, you can apply it to only a part of your project and it will integrate just fine.
Many use EPS for sheathing. This envelops the building, covering wall cavities and studs; it increases the resistance to heat transfer and moisture protection. EPS insulation sheathing has become an industrial standard used basically on exterior walls. this can also be used at all levels of a building from floor to ceiling. sheeting can be used for renovation and new building.
No matter the complex nature of any project, EPS has been found to be up to the task.
