Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is an innovative building material that lends to the design and structural integrity of many building projects. Since the 1950’s, EPS has been recognized as a mainstream insulating material but, over the past thirty years new applications using EPS have exploded into numerous applications such as for building envelope, geofoam, stucco, wall systems, roofing, packaging, flotation, arts & crafts, movie & theatre props and numerous other applications. EPS is an ideal choice for green building designs offering tangible environmental advantages that can maximize energy efficiency, provide improved indoor environmental quality and enhanced durability.
