What is a SOPRA XPS insulation board?
SOPRA XPS insulation is an industry-leading range of high-performance extruded polystyrene rigid insulation boards manufactured using a process of extrusion. This process results in a closed cell structure, which prevents water penetration and moisture-absorption to the structure of the insulation board. This, in turn, guarantees very low lambda values and ensures the long-term strength and durability of the XPS insulation board.
What are the advantages of SOPRA XPS?
1. Exceptionally high compressive strength
2. High dimensional stability
3. Excellent moisture resistance resulting in consistent low lambda values, year after year
4. Resistance to mould and rot
5. Very long service life
6. Low thermal conductivity, which guarantees a high thermal insulation performance
7. Light weight
8. Ease of installation
9. No release of any toxic or harmful substances during installation or demolition
10. Environmental friendliness and sustainability: SOPRA XPS insulation boards are made using a climate-friendly CO2 technology and recycled raw materials, and are 100% recyclable
What is SOPRA XPS used for?
As a result of its high compressive strength and moisture-resistance, Soprema’s eco-friendly SOPRA XPS insulation is able to perform in some of the most challenging environments, making it the perfect choice for so many applications. SOPRA XPS insulation boards can be installed in:
1. inverted roofs
2. green roofs
3. under floors
4. foundation walls
5. basements
6. parking garages
The use of SOPRA XPS insulation in new builds and refurbishment building construction projects offers great flexibility, compatibility and thermal efficiency for all areas of the building envelope system. The SOPRA XPS insulation boards range includes SOPRA XPS SL, SOPRA XPS 500, SOPRA XPS 700, and SOPRA XPS PROTECT SL, with the boards coming in various compressive strengths, making them ideal for numerous applications. For example, the impressive load-bearing capabilities of SOPRA XPS 500 and SOPRA XPS 700 make these XPS insulation boards particularly suitable for insulating roof top car parks, parking garages and other structures that need high compressive performance.
