For residential floors
Performance
Polyfoam Floorboard Standard is highly resistant to compression and withstand both occasional and long term static loads. Load bearing construction elements should be designed to adequately support the combination of imposed and dead loads without creating excessive deflection.
Thermal
The thermal conductivity of Polyfoam Floorboard Standard is 0.033 W/mK.
Description
Polyfoam Floorboard Standard is rigid extruded polystyrene (XPS) board with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of less than 5 and Zero Ozone Depletion Potential. It is square edged boards that has high compressive strength.
Benefits
High compressive strength protects the damp proof membrane from damage
Highly resistant to water absorption
Robust and can tolerate traffic from following trades
Application
Polyfoam Floorboard Standard is suitable for almost any floor construction including:
Below a screed
Below chipboard
Environmental
Polyfoam Floorboard Standard represent no known threat to the environment and have zero Ozone Depletion Potential and a Global Warming Potential of less than five. Polyfoam Floorboard Standard is non bio-degradable and 100% recyclable.
Durability
The continuous service temperature limits of Polyfoam Floorboard Standard is up to +70 C.
Vapour resistivity
Polyfoam Floorboard Standard 625MNs/g.m when tested in accordance with EN 12086.
Moisture absorption
Polyfoam Floorboard Standard has a moisture absorption of 0.6% by volume when tested in accordance with EN 12087.
Please note that these product properties are not a replacement for the manufacturer's literature and it is always recommended that Polyfoam XPS is consulted before specifying.
