Extruded Polystyrene Sheets - XPS (Queensland)
Description
Extruded polystyrene sheets (XPS) are thermal insulation boards that are both strong and durable, making it an ideal product for use across a range of construction and building applications and wall cladding insulation for building construction – both residential and commercial. When insulation comes into contact with water it can have an adverse effect on its ability to thermally insulate; but when faced with extreme weather conditions, XPS polystyrene still preserves its thermal and physical properties thanks to its high-density cell structure, making it practically impervious to water.
The Australian made and manufactured XPS boards are waterproof, resilient and robust construction material boasting high compressive strength and superior thermal performance. The Foam Company's XPS boards can be used for both internal and external wall insulation. They are a vital insulation product under heated floors and under-slab in cool stores. They are ideal for under-roof insulation in housing, sheds and commercial and industrial buildings.
Dimensionally stable, organically inert and moisture resistant, XPS polystyrene panels meet a number of key requirements in structural and civil engineering. With superior compressive strength and higher, long-term R-Values when compared to traditional expanded polystyrene, XPS polystyrene is suitable for use on floors subjected to engineered loads and constant traffic, as well as insulation for inverted roofs, rooftop gardens, parking decks and as commercial purlin roof spacers. XPS is the number one choice for home builders, specifiers, architects and engineers - also a superior and premium product for model making and craft.

Key Features of the 15-60 Super Soft Foam Sheet
Premium Comfort for Everyday Use
Designed for residential applications, this super soft foam sheet offers a plush, luxurious feel, making it an excellent choice for pillows, back cushions, and mattress toppers. Unlike firmer foams, it gently contours to your body, providing a lightweight and cozy touch without excessive firmness.
Hypoallergenic & Antimicrobial Protection
One of the biggest concerns with foam products is the accumulation of dust mites, bacteria, and allergens over time. Our low-density foam sheet is treated with Ultra-Fresh, an advanced antimicrobial agent that:
- Controls dust mites that trigger allergies and asthma
- Reduces bacterial growth, preventing unpleasant odors
- Maintains long-lasting freshness by resisting mold and mildew
This makes it an excellent option for individuals with sensitive skin or respiratory concerns, ensuring a healthier home environment.
Ideal for Quilting, Pillows, and Soft Overlays
This standard foam sheet is widely used in quilting, upholstery, and crafting. Its super-soft texture makes it a go-to material for:
- Pillow stuffing – Provides plush support without being too firm

- Soft overlays on other foams – Enhances comfort in existing furniture or mattresses
Unlike firmer foams that may feel stiff over time, this foam sheet retains its shape and softness, making it perfect for comfort-focused applications.
Not Recommended for Seating or Load-Bearing Use
While this foam excels in plush cushioning applications, it is not designed for seating or heavy-weight-bearing usage. If you need foam for chair cushions, sofa seats, or high-traffic furniture, we recommend exploring high-density foam options instead.

Properties of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS):
Closed-Cell Lightweight Cellular Plastic
EPS is made up of tiny, closed-cell structures filled with air, making it lightweight yet strong. This structure provides excellent insulation and moisture resistance.
Flame/Fire Retardant
Many EPS products are manufactured with fire-retardant additives, making them self-extinguishing when exposed to flames. This improves safety, especially in construction and insulation applications.
Excellent Floatation Properties
Due to its closed-cell structure, EPS has exceptional buoyancy and is widely used in marine applications across Queensland, such as flotation devices, buoys, pontoons, and boat docks.
Shock Absorbing Properties
EPS is often used in protective packaging and cushioning due to its ability to absorb shocks and impacts, protecting fragile products during shipping and handling.
Low Environmental Impact
EPS is 100% recyclable and does not release harmful chemicals during its lifecycle. Additionally, its lightweight nature reduces fuel consumption during transportation, making it an eco-friendly choice in construction and packaging.
Benefits of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS):
Cost-Effective
EPS is affordable and widely available, making it a cost-effective material for insulation, construction, and packaging compared to alternatives like fiberglass or rigid polyurethane foam.
Easy to Use & Handle
Due to its lightweight nature, EPS sheets and blocks are easy to transport, cut, and shape, reducing labor costs and installation time.
Superior Thermal Insulation
EPS provides excellent thermal resistance (R-value), making it a preferred material for wall insulation, roofing, and flooring in buildings, helping reduce heating and cooling costs.
Water and Moisture Resistance
The closed-cell structure prevents water absorption, making EPS ideal for outdoor and underground applications, such as drainage systems, foundations, and flotation devices.
Versatile Applications
EPS is used across various industries, including construction, civil engineering, packaging, marine, signage, landscaping, and theming for movie sets. It can be custom-cut into different shapes and profiles, making it highly adaptable.
Durable & Long-Lasting
EPS does not rot, degrade, or break down over time, ensuring long-term performance in insulation and structural applications.
