What is "R-value"?
The term ‘R value’ is an industry measurement that is used to represent a particular materials ability to resist heat flow.
Any materials which have an identical R value should perform exactly the same. This isn’t always the case. R value testing is done in a laboratory where conditions are kept constant. This unfortunately does not happen in real world applications.
What makes our EPS a better choice for insulation is the closed cell structure can maintain its thermal resistance no matter the ambient conditions at work.
How can I cut EPS and XPS polystyrene?
The most popular product would be to use a utility/stanley knife. Otherwise, you can use a serrated kitchen knife or fine wood saw but hot wire is the most effective.
What adhesives can I use with polystyrene?
There are a variety of adhesives that are suitable for gluing polystyrene. It is strongly recommended to use water-based adhesives such as our Ritetack Instant Grab and Mightytack adhesives to bond polystyrene to itself or another surface.
