FAQs

What is R-Value?

An R-Value is a rating which measures how well insulation can resist heat flow. ‘R’ stands for thermal resistance.

R-Value level depends on a number of things such as the type
of material, its density and thickness.
Higher R-Value = Better insulation.

What is the difference between EXPO ThermaSlab and EXPOL Platinum Board?

EXPOL ThermaSlab is a cost effective way to insulate a building and meet Building Code requirements. EXPOL Platinum Board is a premium product with superior R-value.

Does ThermaSlab SL come in a range of different sizes?

Yes. EXPOL ThermaSlab SL Grade is available in any width. Sheets of 355mm or 555mm at a length of 1200mm are most common. It is also available in custom sizes upon request.

How strong is EXPOL ThermaSlab?

The unique matrix structure of expanded polystyrene (EPS) creates block rigidity making it an excellent choice for retaining walls as it will not sag or slump over time.
