PROVEN QUALITY – Thanks to Thorough Product Checks To lastingly ensure the high, proven quality of our product family, all Styrodur® products are carefully checked. During the production process, the quality of the insulation is checked multiple times. Among other things, its thermal conductivity, compression resistance, fire behavior, and board dimensions are regularly monitored. Continual quality checks in our labs – including creep tests, water absorption and freeze-thaw tests – do more than ensure that Styrodur always meets the high expectations of its users. They also enable us to keep...

APPROVAL WORK GEARED TO THE FUTURE – So You Can Plan Confidently The many different applications pose diverse challenges in the search for the ideal insulating solutions. To reliably ensure that planners, architects, and users can plan with confidence, the entire Styrodur® product family is backed by unique, constantly evolving approval work. We not only monitor, but also continually improve the quality of Styrodur. Thanks to this far-reaching work to obtain certifications, Styrodur boasts more official approvals for building applications than any other XPS product. Styrodur ® is the XPS...

LOAD-DISSIPATING FOUNDATION SLABS Due to its outstanding compressive strength, Styrodur® has been approved for use as load-dissipating thermal insulation beneath foundation slabs. The maximum permitted thickness in these applications is 300 mm, and it may be immersed in groundwater down to a depth of 3.5 meters. Styrodur is the first insulation that has approval for dissipating horizontal forces such as those induced by wind, ground pressure, and earthquakes. What counts is the material’s compressive shear behavior, on account of which Styrodur is approved for dissipating vertical loads of...
