Dear prospective builder, As a nationally active company we supply highly thermally insulated, solid and easy to work building materials for the entire shell. We supply building companies who build bare-shell buildings for one, two and multi-family houses in record time using our shell material, but we mostly supply private developers who wish to build their dream home themselves under professional guidance. The basis for our success is our ingenious construction system, our low cost production, our “All-in-one structure", the absolute best thermal value of our outer wall and the fast and...

Nepor® is a reg. trademark of BASF In comparison to conventional EPS Neopor® can achieve the same thermal insulation performance with less material Styropor® has been a renowned brand name for efficient thermal insulation for decades. But even a classic makes progress. The outcome of intense research is Neopor®, the silver-grey counterpart to white Styropor® foam. BASF AG manufactures Neopor® in the form of polystyrene granules containing pentane, which renders them expandable. These bead-like black particles are processed into silver-grey foamed blocks or molded parts by manufacturers of...

Neopor® in house construction A house with 150 m2 of heated living space and a heat requirement of 200 kWh/(m2a) consumes approximately 3,000 liters of heating oil or 3,000 m3 of gas per heating period. These consumption figures can be considerably reduced by means of energy-related improvement measures. Studies have shown that energy savings of more than 50% can easily be achieved through thermal insulation (source: Institut Wohnen und Umwelt, Germany). The money spent exclusively for the thermal insulation is often already recouped after just one heating period. The benefits to the...

No. This material is one of the purest building materials of the highest standards, especially its claim to its foodgrade: even sensitive foodstuffs like fresh fish are allowed to be packed in rigid polystyrene foam. Rigid polystyrene foam also passes these biological tests: the material is used for beehives, nesting boxes and breeding vessels for microorganisms. Rigid polystyrene foam has been thoroughly examined in an organic architecture institution to test the flourishing of plant seedlings, worms, microorganisms and plants in soil mixed with rigid polystyrene foam particles. The...

Frequently asked questions - VARIANT System The most important questions at a glance How durable is a VARIANT HOUSE? VARIANT HOUSES are solid structure houses that are just as stable as standard brick houses. The oldest building made with rigid foam insulation is about 50 years old and does not show even the slightest signs of aging. Due to the insulation, the concrete core is also reliably protected from the weathering elements. Can building take place during frost? The material is suitable for winter construction work. The filled walls only need to be covered if there is a threat of night...

How a house is made from Neopor® Insulating with air and graphite With Neopor®, BASF provides an insulating material that offers significantly better thermal insulation than products that are currently available: For example, the new product can achieve the same insulating performance as BASF‘s classic Styropor® with up to 50 percent less raw material. Neopor® is based on polystyrene and contains microscopic flakes of graphite that reflect heat radiation, thus improving insulation. The difference between the familiar insulating material Styropor® and the newly developed Neopor® is...

Once upon a time... The myth of the “breathing“ wall Non-insulated exterior walls of brick are often referred to as “breathing exterior walls.“ They are said to help prevent moisture and mould damage and create a good indoor climate. The result: Those who believe their walls breathe are generally not willing to improve the thermal protection of the walls through exterior or interior insulation and are willing to put up with high heating-energy consumption resulting in unnecessary environmental pollution. That is why the Hessian Ministry of the Environment points out that the real physical...

The history of Neopor® It all started with Styrofoam - 1960 until today 1960 There’s nothing more valuable than experience. Styrofoam insulation systems have been used in civil engineering since 1960. The energy savings using Styrofoam’s thermal insulation consistently implemented in buildings for years has clearly contributed to the reduction of CO2 emissions. 1965 Styrofoam is now well-proven in the construction sector: Styrofoam represents reduced energy consumption resulting in a conservation of resources and lessened emissions, contributing to a pleasant and healthy indoor climate. In...
